Confronted by blogger, Santorum fails to differentiate between little girl, dish of cellsA former Republican Senator considered to be a candidate for the party's 2012 presidential nomination was recently confronted by a blogger with a perplexing question: Being pro-life, if you found yourself in a fertility clinic that was burning down, and you had a choice between saving a 2-year-old girl or a petri dish of five fertilized eggs, what would you do?

Rick Santorum, an employee of the Republican Fox News Channel and former US Senator from Pennsylvania, didn't seem too sure.

"I'd try to rescue as many as those children as possible," he told blogger Mike Stark while filling in as a guest host for a Friday broadcast of the Bill Bennett radio talk show "Morning in America."

Santorum dismissed the question as "a false choice," claiming later in the conversation that if put in such a situation, he would instead "save all human life."

1. That is a great question to ask people like him.

2. Despicable. I'm visualizing in my head being in that situation

and NOT immediately turning to the living 2 year old girl, and NOT swooping her up and out of there.

Instead he'd stand there and actually have to think about saving the petri dishes or the girl????

What. The. Fuck.
