You have to admire Rick Santorum's recent argument against Obama's view of abortion. To boil it down basically Sactorum states that he finds it hard to believe that a person of color ("black person" or "victim of slavery"), would embrace a policy that diminishes the civil rights of an unborn child.
In a recent CNN article, he is quoted as saying "Life is a civil right." See the article here:
It has always been so frustrating to me when I hear politicians bumble around over this sort of ethical issue. You would think that if they are going to be a politician they would learn some debate tactics and solid arguments. Here Santorum, is showing that he has some skill in this area, that may educate the masses. So what is encouraging is that once a prominent argument takes hold, it tends to propagate among the ranks. Let's hope this is the case, because people need to learn to argue more about ethical truths than political posturing. This is not a political issue, it never has been, it has always been a moral issue, and it needs to be argued properly.
