We are going back to the stone ages when it comes to science and victorian times as far as women's rights are concerned.

I'm waiting for Santorum to come out and suggest women should not be allowed to vote.

In an interview on CBS' Face the Nation, Santorum:

•Objected to including some prenatal tests in federal insurance mandates, saying the tests lead to more abortions.

"A lot of prenatal tests are done to identify deformities in utero, and the customary procedure is to encourage abortions," he said. "We know that 90% of Down syndrome children in America are aborted." At a campaign event over the weekend in Columbus, Ohio, he said the tests effectively "cull the ranks of the disabled in our society."

He objected to provisions in the new health care law that require coverage of prenatal testing for expectant mothers, saying some tests shouldn't be included. He mentioned in particular amniocentesis, a test that can detect chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses such as Down syndrome.

Get your corset out and don't forget the aspirin.

Santorum had to deal last week with fallout from comments by Foster Friess, a millionaire backer of a super PAC supporting him, about contraception. "Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives," he said on MSNBC. "The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."
