Former GOP Senator from Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum defended his controversial comments about President Barack Obama and his views on abortion in which Santorum said “I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say ‘now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.”

To defend his comments, Santorum compared the struggle of African Americans to achieve equal rights to the struggle to have fetuses have equal rights.

For decades certain human beings were wrongly treated as property and denied liberty in America because they were not considered persons under the constitution. Today other human beings, the unborn of all races, are also wrongly treated as property and denied the right to life for the same reason; because they are not considered persons under the constitution. I am disappointed that President Obama, who rightfully fights for civil rights, refuses to recognize the civil rights of the unborn in this country.
