When asked about his vocal stance on social issues, including his comments on contraception, Rick Santorum vowed he would continue to talk about these controversial issues in spite of discord from the left.

“Here’s the difference between me and the left,” said Santorum, “Just because I’m talking about it doesn’t mean that I want a government program to fix it. That’s what they do.”
