Rick Santorum: “I suggest to the Senator what we are doing is getting rid of a rogue procedure that has been demonstrably testified to…”

On the recordMarch 12, 2003
I suggest to the Senator what we are doing is getting rid of a rogue procedure that has been demonstrably testified to that this is contraindicated. The AMA: Bad medicine. Their term, not mine. I am saying this is a rogue procedure that is outside the medical arena. This is outside the standard of care. Nowhere in the literature is this considered to be standard of care. As a result of that, I make the argument--in fact, I have made the argument--that this procedure is not healthy to women and as a result should be banned because it is the least safe procedure, and it is not appropriate.

If you listen, just listen to what Josh Hawley is saying. He basically is saying the same thing, in my opinion that Barbara Boxer said, which is I can't certify this election, knowing of the irregularities that I believe happened in Ohio.

We came here and created a blank slate. We birthed a nation from nothing. There was nothing here. Yes, we have native Americans. But there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.
