I know that you have only been posting here for about 10 days, and that you are probably a retread, but you seem to be insane.

Did you read post 90 and post 114 where I quoted that portion of the 1990 switch that you keep saying I haven’t quoted?

“Abortion is such a deeply wrenching issue because it poses a conflict between essential values. The unborn child’s very life is at stake; the mother’s future often hangs in the balance too, as an unwanted pregnancy can be unspeakably traumatic as well as limiting her educational, personal, and job opportunities”

Now explain why you keep pretending that Santorum has not told us that he was pro-abortion for his entire life before he switched to run that 1990 campaign.

“I was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress,” he said HE RAN FOR CONGRESS IN 1990, THAT IS THE CHANGE, THE SWITCH.

“you seem to be insane.”

Do you often characterize Santorum supporters as ‘insane’?

“Did you read post 90 and post 114 where I quoted that portion of the 1990 switch that you keep saying I haven’t quoted?”

You’ve yet to cite the thing in it’s entirety, including the portion that contains Santorum insisting that abortion kills an unborn child? Why?

I’m not certain you can actually type those words. Perhaps you’ll surprize me here.

See- to me if you’re going to cite something, it makes sense to cite the relevant portions of the text. You’ve cited all around it, but not it. Why is this?

“Now explain why you keep pretending that Santorum has not told us that he was pro-abortion for his entire life before he switched to run that 1990 campaign.”

I never said anything of the sort. I simply said that the only evidence we possess proves that Santorum in 1990 stated that he believed that abortion kills an unborn child.

We do not possess, nor do you possess anything written by Santorum to prove otherwise. Unless you have that evidence, all we have to go on is hearsay.

There are different evidentiary standards, and I’m asking you to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt. Santorum saying that he is X, doesn’t mean much to me without the actual statement.

I have heard people in the past claim they were prolife but upon examination were actually prolife and the inverse. Santorum says, “I’m an X”, well fine. I want to see the proof in the pudding. Right now there’s no pudding, no writing no nothing.

Just a 1990 statement where Santorum confirms that abortion kills an unborn child. That’s it.
