Over 99% of all abortions are for convenience, not health reasons....

[Emboldened Chimp]

So said Rick Santorum, (Nutjob-Pennsylvannia), on yesterday's edition of Fresh Air. He talked to Terry Gross about the repuke platform on abortion in general and their desire for a Constitutional amendment banning abortion specifically. Terry asked about giving the same constitutional rights to a fetus that a woman has, and Nutjob kept spouting this 'statistic'. Where did get this number? Did he make it up or is it the new Puke talking point lie to be echo-chambered across the media landscape? Makes me wanna :puke:
