It's not just about abortion and reproductive rights. It's about privacy and the right to choose.

About two weeks ago Andrew Sullivan gave full rein of his blog to no other than Dan Savage. Yes, the santorum neologist and author of the incredible sex column, Savage Love. The man ought to be blogging. Like, NOW!
www.AndrewSullivan.com - Daily Dish | And make no mistake, hetero readers: Santorum doesn't just seek to stamp out the kind of relationship I enjoy with my longtime personal secretary. The Santorum wing of the GOP is targeting your privacy, your rights, and your pleasures, too. From porn (just as popular in red states as it is in blue) to divorce (more popular in red states than in blue) to masturbation (equally popular in red and blue states), the Santorums and Scalias and Bauers and Dobsons want to tell you how to live, who to love, and how exactly you should love 'em. When Santorum made his famous "man on dog" comments he wasn't just defending anti-gay sodomy laws, but anti-straight sodomy laws too. Santorum doesn't just believe that the state should have the right to regulate gay sex out of existence, but two out of three most popular straight sex acts too. In his dissent in Lawrence, GOP and Bush/Santorum favorite Antonin Scalia didn't just bemoan the fact that the majority decision could lead to same-sex marriage rights, but that it would prevent the government from passing and/or enforcing laws against masturbation and pre-marital sex. Oh, the horror.
