As Rick Santorum comes under more scrutiny because of his dramatic victory in Iowa, his exchange on partial-birth abortion with former senator Russ Feingold, radical Leftist fired by the people of Wisconsin on November 2, 2010, is being examined.
In April 2010, Sen. Rick Santorum was the guest speaker at the Annual Education Fund Dinner and Auction of Wisconsin Right to Life.
With Santorum being in Milwaukee for that pro-life function, I was reminded of the haunting exchange he had with Russ Feingold when they both were serving in the U.S. Senate.
Let's revisit it.
On September 26, 1996, during debate on partial-birth abortion, Feingold revealed just how radically pro-abortion he is.
Transcript
Sen. Santorum: Will the Senator from Wisconsin yield for a question?
Sen. Feingold: I will.
Sen. Santorum: The Senator from Wisconsin says that this decision should be left up to the mother and the doctor, as if there is absolutely no limit that could be placed on what decision that they make with respect to that. And the Senator from California [Sen. Barbara Boxer] is going up to advise you of what my question is going to be, and I will ask it anyway. And my question is this: that if that baby were delivered breech style and everything was delivered except for the head, and for some reason that that baby's head would slip out -- that the baby was completely delivered -- would it then still be up to the doctor and the mother to decide whether to kill that baby?
Sen. Feingold: I would simply answer your question by saying under the Boxer amendment, the standard of saying it has to be a determination, by a doctor, of health of the mother, is a sufficient standard that would apply to that situation. And that would be an adequate standard.
Sen. Santorum: That doesn't answer the question. Let's assume that this procedure is being performed for the reason that you've stated, and the head is accidentally delivered. Would you allow the doctor to kill the baby?
Sen. Feingold: I am not the person to be answering that question. That is a question that should be answered by a doctor, and by the woman who receives advice from the doctor. And neither I, nor is the Senator from Pennsylvania, truly competent to answer those questions. That is why we should not be making those decisions here on the floor of the Senate.
That exchange is absolutely chilling, so chilling that Feingold had the Congressional Record altered.
Feingold actually refused to say that the life of a baby who survived a late-term abortion should be protected.
That's not just being pro-abortion. That's pro-infanticide.

Santorum isn't the extremist. Feingold is.
