Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich blasted the Obama’s health care reform law as an attack on religious liberty at a forum hosted by the Wisconsin Faith & Freedom Coalition Saturday morning. The candidates took a break from talking about the economy to talk about faith social issues.
Rick Santorum repeated his claim that Romney’s own health care plan in Massachusetts makes him the wrong candidate to represent the fight against ‘Obamacare’ (via CNN):
“If we make this the centerpiece – the repeal of Obamacare the centerpiece of our election – and have someone who can go out and make the arguments, because, well, I never supported those arguments ever – ever – as a public official or outside of government.”
Santorum also warned that conservatives can’t rely on the Supreme Court to strike down health care reform. “We have to rely on people who stand up and fight for freedom,” he said.
Romney repeated his pledge to “defund Planned Parenthood.”
