Rick Santorum On Opposition To Abortion In Cases Of Rape: 'Make The Best Out Of A Bad Situation'

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum explained his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape during an interview Friday, saying that women who face such circumstances should “make the best out of a bad situation.”

Tea Party-backed Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle was asked to explain her belief that abortions were unacceptable even in the case of a girl being raped by her father.

“I think that two wrongs don’t make a right,” she answered. “And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at-risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade.”

thank you, rick santorum and sharron angle

here’s what i’ve learned:

1. rape is a “bad situation”
2. also known as a “lemon situation”
3. but we can make it into lemonade
4. and when horrible things happen, just “accept what god has given to you” and “make the best out of a bad situation”
5. but yeah, no
6. fuck
7. you
