Santorum: He’s not funny any more

snip

Now, though, he’s got me seriously ticked off. Sayeth Mr. Santorum this weekend:
One of the things that you don’t know about ObamaCare in one of the mandates is they require free prenatal testing,… Why? Because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and, therefore, less care that has to be done, because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society. That too is part of ObamaCare — another hidden message as to what president Obama thinks of those who are less able than the elites who want to govern our country.

I’m writing these words with my smiling brother-in-law Vincent sitting next to me, admiring the green lunchbox that we just bought him. Vincent lives with intellectual disabilities caused by fragile X syndrome. I find the above comments indescribably insulting.

4. Being against prenatal care is so far on the other side of batshit

that you can't see batshit with an Earth based telescope.

It is very hard to believe that many outside of deeply fundy types would be in any way receptive to that level of crazy and not all of them.

How are you Pro-Life and against healthy babies? I bet an anti-abortion doctor or two could be found to put him on blast for that kind of stupidity.

6. I posted something similar as a mother of a special daughter. Those comments really ticked me off.
