Rick Savonarola Santorum’s book, It Takes a Family, which encourages a return to Neanderthal times (does Rick believe in Neanderthals?), contains this quote:
“The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness.”
When Rick takes away your birth control, he’ll make sure you discover that the real key to happiness is having ten or twelve kids.
Asked about the quote on Sunday by George Stephanopoulos, Rick replied that his wife Karen had written that part of the book, although she is not named as a co-author.
So I guess women can write books as long as their husbands get the credit?!
The Rick or Karen Santorum book, which came out in 2005, is considered part of the reason Rick lost his Senate race in 2006. It won’t help him in 2012 either. “Barefoot and pregnant” is not a winning slogan except in places like Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.
