Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum floated a new comparison on Sunday in the debate over the Religious Freedom Restoration Acts passed Indiana and Arkansas last week.
"Tolerance is a two-way street," Santorum, a prospective 2016 presidential candidate, said on CBS's Face the Nation. "If you're a print shop and you are a gay man, should you be forced to print 'God hates fags' for the Westboro Baptist Church because they hold those signs up?"
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum said that he had hoped Indiana Gov. Mike Pence wouldn't have asked for changes to a controversial religious freedom law the state legislature passed, arguing that now the federal government and the state have "a pretty limited view" of religious liberty.
"I certainly can't say that it's a bad bill. It's a good bill," Santorum said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "But...it doesn't really open the debate up on some of the more current issues."
"I think we need to look at, as religious liberty is now being pushed harder, to provide more religious protections and that bill doesn't do that," he added.
