  1. Did Rick Santorum lie through his teeth about partial-birth abortion to paint Obama as a persecutor of the disabled?

Sunday on Face the Nation, Rick Santorum was asked whether, in recent remarks, he’s been deliberately suggesting that President Obama “looks down on disabled people.” Santorum replied: “Well, the president supported partial-birth abortion, and partial-birth abortion is a procedure used almost exclusively to kill children late in pregnancy when they’ve been found out to be disabled.”

Here’s what Santorum said in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday:
“One of the things that you don’t know about Obamacare and one of the mandates is they require free prenatal testing in every insurance policy in America. Why? Because it saves money in health care. Why? Because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and therefore less care that has to be done because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society. That, too, is part of Obamacare: another hidden message as to what President Obama thinks of those who are less able than the elites who want to govern our country.”
