Pro-abortion record

A [[cult]]-like movement among [[liberals]], and particularly [[homosexual]] activists, vilified Santorum for his forthright and truthful statements. In the Senate, Santorum stood for traditional values, and fought for [[traditional marriage]]. His "[[Santorum Amendment]]" to the No Child Left Behind Act sought (albeit unsuccessfully) to undermine curricula which present the [[theory of evolution]] in a dogmatic way, but amendment opponents said it the language would have the effect of supporting the teaching of [[intelligent design]] in [[public school]]s, which they regard as [[Creationism]] rather than as a legitimate scientific theory.

Although he claims to oppose [[abortion]] without exception, he did support his wife Karen when she had an abortion in 1996 (by inducing labor before the fetus was viable) in order to save her life.<ref>http://oursilverribbon.org/blog/?p=188</ref>

In 2006 [[Bob Casey, Jr.]], the [[liberal]] son of a popular former Pennsylvania governor who had been [[pro-life]], defeated Santorum as part of a [[Democratic]] sweep in that election. Casey subsequently endorsed pro-[[abortion]] [[Barack Obama]] for president in 2008.
