Not guilty.

Moderator Martha MacCallum twisted facts during the GOP undercard debate in Iowa when she turned to pro-life former Sen. Rick Santorum and asked, "Carly Fiorina was the only one of the GOP candidates to attend the March for Life in Washington last week. Where were you?"
The premise of MacCallum's question was deceptive, at best.
As Breitbart News reported, Fiorina was the only GOP presidential candidate invited to speak at the March for Life on January 22. The committee that organizes the march set the theme of "Pro-Life, Pro-Woman Go Hand-in-Hand" as a way to counter the "war on women" rhetoric that is prominent in the main-stream media and in establishment Democrat candidates, such as Hillary Clinton, and her supporters, such as Planned Parenthood.

MacCallum's question placed Santorum on the defensive - and without any need to do so.
"Well, I've been to the March for Life for about 25 years and I thought - I think that's a pretty good record," he said. "Spoken at it a few times and I have shepherded every single piece of pro-life piece of legislation that's passed over the last 20 years. I've either authored it or shepherded it through the United States Congress and I'm pretty proud of that record too."

Good on Carly. And good on Rick Santorum. What an idiotic question.
Good for Carly.
Nailing someone cause they didn't go to an event or write a letter or something equally dumb is a low blow.
Not guilty.
who is she?
I happen to be at my fathers who only watches the undercard debate because the main debate is too late for him to stay up -) I was so angry about this question. Rick Santorum credentials are exemplary for the pro life cause. I’m so happy Carly acknowledge what a low ball question it was. Shame on Martha McCallum.
Martha Mac does with 6 am (PST) news with Bill Hemmer. She is usually pretty good with questioning guests and analysts, not sure what happened here.
One of the funniest scenes ever!
Here’s how Santorum should have answered it. Martha you apparently don’t know my pro-life credentials or Fiorina’s. I believe every life is precious and a gift from God and and has a right to life. Ms. Fiorina on the otherhand believes it’s fine to murder children depending on who the father is, as in rape and incest. Can you please ask her why she thinks these children of God don’t deserve to live. He would have up McCallum in a heartbeat and smoke would have came out of Fiorina’s ears.
A Megan Kelly wanna be
Is anyone better known for being pro-life than Santorum?
Good for Carly!
She had a minute-long diatribe against Hillary that was the high point of the first debate. It would be worth looking for on YouTube.
What Carly neglected to mention .. the March for Life was for WOMEN. I don’t believe any men were invited. Ted Cruz is a big right to life person .. and I’m pretty sure he did not attend either.
Someone who's never been in my kitchen.......
I like Martha, but she served up a pitch and iCarly hit a grand slam.
Martha, don’t let the producers make you ask questions before you read them and think about them.
Nor mine. Someone said it was that Martha on FOX in the mornings, but when I look at her and then the photo they look nothing alike.
If I had met her I am sure I would not forget her either. Not that I am shallow or anything.LOL
