Rick Santorum And The Fertility Clinic Conundrum

This is awesome. Fearless blogger Mike Stark managed to get a phone call into Bill Bennett’s radio show when Rick Santorum was guest hosting.

A former Republican Senator considered to be a candidate for the party’s 2012 presidential nomination was recently confronted by a blogger with a perplexing question: Being pro-life, if you found yourself in a fertility clinic that was burning down, and you had a choice between saving a 2-year-old girl or a petri dish of five fertilized eggs, what would you do?

Rick Santorum, an employee of the Republican Fox News Channel and former US Senator from Pennsylvania, didn’t seem too sure.

“I’d try to rescue as many as those children as possible,” he told blogger Mike Stark while filling in as a guest host for a Friday broadcast of the Bill Bennett radio talk show “Morning in America.”

Santorum dismissed the question as “a false choice,” claiming later in the conversation that if put in such a situation, he would instead “save all human life.”
