Thank you, Jezebel, for finally providing a bit of digestible information on how Obamacare will impact women. Indeed, it already IS impacting women, with 26.9 million of them already receiving preventative care free of cost under the Affordable Care Act, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Most of you already know the basics:

Recently, Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum (R) made the news for his opinions regarding birth control and sodomy laws. His comments, made during an interview with ABC News’ Jake Tapper, were picked up by blogs across the country, which interpreted Santorum’s message as being in support of banning birth control and sodomy. While researching the basis for Santorum’s actual views, Birth Control News staff spent time further researching how birth control and abortion laws appear in America’s history and determine our rights today.

First: What He Really Said

It wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if Santorum, a pro-life, conservative politician and author of It Takes a Family, a book about family values centered on heterosexual relationships, had spoken out against abortion or sodomy. However, his comments
