Santorum: Women Shouldn’t Be In Combat Because Of “Other Types Of Emotions”

With the Pentagon giving more opportunities for women to serve in enhanced roles, Rick Santorum was asked by John King his reaction.

“I think that could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. It already happens, of course, with the camaraderie of men in combat, but I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat,” Santorum added. “And I think that’s not in the best interests of men, women or the mission.”

Tina Dupuy recalls that Santorum’s 2005 book, It Takes a Family, he takes a shot at families where two parents are working, saying both of them probably don’t really need to, and putting the blame on “radical feminists.”

“In far too many families with young children, both parents are working, when, if they really took an honest look at the budget, they might find they don’t both need to….The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness“
