In eye-brow raising comments, possible presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is questioning how President Barack Obama - as an African-American - can support abortion rights.
Santorum, a former Republican senator from Pennsylvania who is seriously considering a run for his party’s 2012 presidential nomination, argued in an interview that a fetus is a person and said he considers it “almost remarkable for a black man to say ‘now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.’”
Of course, the writers at Politico are shocked that anyone would dare say such a thing, but the bottom line is that it's a perfectly valid point. It's a great, tragic irony, and mystery, that the abortion logic so widely prevails within the black community.
That said, I don't think Santorum should run. He got shellacked in his bid for reelection in '08 and I don't think that would go over well in a general election against the seemingly unbeatable Obama. Perhaps a Cabinet position in a Ryan administration...
