Sanatorum speaks out on McCain's pro-life record

Santorum alleges Sen. McCain unreliable on pro-life issues

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has attacked Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain of Arizona for hindering social conservative issues, arguing that McCain is a poor choice to lead the effort to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Speaking to radio host Mark Levine on Levine’s Thursday night radio show, Senator Santorum cited Senator McCain’s compromises in congressional debates about Supreme Court nominations as evidence the Arizona politician was not a strong pro-life candidate. Santorum, who is now a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, said of McCain, “this is not a guy who would give me a lot of confidence that he would appoint the judges who are necessary on the court to overturn Roe v. Wade, who would be strict constructionist judges.”

McCain’s largely pro-life record, Santorum claimed, concealed other problems, such as McCain’s support for embryonic stem cell research and his vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment.

It bothers me that some people still don't get it with Senator McCain. He is NOT a pro-life candidate and is NOT a viable candidate for Catholics to vote for. Someone who votes for McCain is voting against human life. It seems to me that there are those who would rather bury their heads in the sand than know the truth and live it out in their lives. They may be able to rationalize their refusal to learn about where the candidates stand on issues in this life, but when they come face to face with God, they will be judged on this. I sure wouldn't want to have to tell my Creator that I took part in this horrific holocaust - and voted "yes" to the destruction of human lives.
