Santorum Claims Purpose Of Prenatal Testing Is to Increase Abortion

Rick Santorum believes the government should not make sure insurers cover prenatal testing that can detect Down syndrome or other fetal problems because they are meant to increase abortions.

“One of the mandates is they require free prenatal testing in every insurance policy in America,” Santorum, a conservative Roman Catholic, told a Christian Alliance luncheon in Columbus. “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.”

He added that the requirement was “another hidden message as to what President Obama thinks of those who are less able.”
