In answer to the question:
"Would birth control be covered by that notion of 'freedom without responsibility?'"
Santorum said
"I am not a believer of birth control. It goes down the line of being able to do whatever you want to do without having the responsibility that comes with that."
I realize this is ancient history (Santorum ca. 2006), but given Santorum's reputation as a solid consistent believer, this is worth noting... from the horse's...ummm... mouth. :
Even more jaw dropping, he sums up his position on birth control by saying
"I don't think it's a healthy thing for our country."

My response is below the fold.
You want to talk about something that REALLY harms women?
