Santorum: Dead foreign scientists a ‘wonderful thing’

In Rick Santorum’s world, the culture of life apparently doesn’t extend to the scientific community.

The Republican presidential candidate told supporters in Greenville, South Carolina that it was a “wonderful thing” when scientists in Iran lose their lives.

“On occasion, scientists working on the nuclear program in Iran turn up dead,” he explained. “I think that’s a wonderful thing, candidly.”

The former Pennsylvania senator, who in January declared that life was a civil right, is also prepared to celebrate the death of scientists in other counties.

“I think we should send a very clear message that if you are scientist from Russia or North Korea or from Iran, and you are going to work on a nuclear program to develop a nuclear bomb for Iran, you are not safe.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta probably won’t find the candidate’s remarks very helpful while he is in South Korea this week seeking to end North Korea’s nuclear program.

“Here is hoping that Rick Santorum’s comments don’t get Leon Panetta kidnapped,” Business Insiders’ Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote.

Santorum campaign: Aborted babies ‘think’ Cain is wrong


Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says “aborted babies” would not support fellow candidate Herman Cain.

In a new online campaign ad, Santorum hits Cain for his shifting position on whether abortions should be legal in cases of rape and incest.

Earlier this month, Cain told NBC’s David Gregory that there should be no exceptions for rape and incest. But several days later, he told CNN’s Piers Morgan that it should be the choice of the family.

After spending the better part of a week trying to undo the damage done to his conservative credentials, he finally told Fox News’ Gretchen Carlson that abortion should not even be part of the political discussion.

“The 1.2 million babies aborted in the U.S. last year think otherwise,” the narrator in Santorum’s new ad declares.

For his part, Cain has attempted to clarify his position by saying that he is “100% pro-life,” but a family should have the right to choose an “illegal abortion.”
