but he said, as a state issue, if a state wanted to ban contraception, he would not have any problem with that. he is a he has been a federal legislator in the senate, and he s running for president and as president, he would have no interference with a state trying to do that. lawrence, i think that gets back to people hear what they want to hear, and you check what he actually said. as i understand his position, and in fact, i just kind of verified that today, he said he would vote against any state that wanted to ban contraceptives. now, maybe there s a maybe the issue was asked, is the constitution legal for a state to do that, and maybe ask president obama, who s a constitutional lawyer, if it is or isn t. there s two different issues. i don t know if sorry. did you talk to rick santorum about that today? no, i did not. when s the last time you talked to rick santorum? oh, it s been probably maybe four or five days, a week.
we re just talking about here today. authenticity and honesty. he ll tell you exactly what you believe. he doesn t have a bunch of consultants, hey, guys, how can i say this and phrase this so i can get the women s vote? he just tells it like it is, and women admire that in him. well, that s a quality i mean an issue, not so much a personal character quality. is there a single issue that is your most important governing issue that has brought you to the santorum campaign? yes. i would say his love for america again, that s, but that s just that s not an issue. what i mean is taxation, or in this case, contraception, or abortion, or some foreign policy issue. i don t mean to cut you off, but i don t mean something general. everybody in the campaign really likes america a lot. i mean something specific about governing. well, he i would say, i don t know if any one of those sticks out more than any others, but i guess the whole idea of
i do. and i think that s available to them. i believe there s no way they cannot get contraceptions if they need it. there s public health clinics, i believe, that distribute it. so it isn t so much an issue of not making it available, it s just an issue of forcing people to make it available. you can get contraceptives any place. if you honor religious liberty and don t force catholic institutions to provide contraceptives, that doesn t mean anybody s not going to get contraceptives, does it, lawrence? it doesn t mean anybody s not going to get them, but it does mean some people won t get them. there are plenty of ways to fall through the cracks, and we have not set up a full safety net on that. well, who won t get contraceptives? there are plenty of people who don t have access to landed parenthood where you live. there are plenty of places in this country where you live where it can be very difficult to get. i don t want to get bogged down
