Politicians love to have changes of heart when it ensures their survival on various issues. Just ask Mitt Romney or John Kerry!
I made the post about Santorum not so much to say that it invalidates the stance of someone who is genuinely anti-abortion, but that most politicians are full of shit on this issue (and many others) and it's sheer folly for common folk to feel empowered or inspired by the phony words the politicians spout.
Also, this story exhibits a situation in which a person who presents oneself as 100% anti-abortion in all cases (see video in my news link) will bend his/her morals and rules when a complicated pregnancy affects him/her. I connected this to my comical image above it which illustrates that people do not often practice what they preach.
Whew.
