Why does the title of your thread say he used to be pro-life and the title of the article say he used to be pro-choice.
Just another lie coming off the fingers of TM, I see.
Oh wait, it was an honest mistake, right?
By the way, as far as I know, Rick Santorum is still pro-life.

So big deal,people change,I once thought I was pro choice,until presented with the choice,funny how real life can change you. There was no way we could kill our child,for our convenience ,it was an instant revaluation,our child a child,nothing but a child.

How do you conclude that he was "pro-choice" from this letter, included in the HP article and attributed to Santorum?
"The unborn child's very life is at stake"
"However, government must be on the side of human life"
"I would also support the President in his opposition to abortion funding or to aiding agencies whose family planning efforts have encouraged abortion"
" . . . For this reason I have placed my emphasis not on advocating a Human Life Amendment, but on measures that would reshape the current social consensus and encourage current pregnant women to choose life"

Zoom,
In the article there was a newspaper ad quoted where he stated that he used to be pro-choice until he ran for congress. The Huffpost was I believe indirectly quoting him.

He's a demon too....!!!!
When Karen told me she was moving out," Allen said, "she said, 'You'd really like Rick. He's a lot like you. He's politically active and he's pro-choice.'"
Walgren, likewise, had difficulty recalling abortion playing much, if any, role during his 1990 campaign against Santorum. In an interview with the Huffington Post, the former congressman relayed that it was his understanding that Santorum canvassers "were deliberately instructed not to wear a red rose [symbolizing support for the pro-life movement] in canvassing," and that the literature they distributed "had no mention of abortion in it."
Those who knew Santorum before he entered politics testify to a similar posture. Mark Podvia, who graduated with Santorum from Dickinson School of Law in 1986, said that the issue of abortion or "Christian Faith" never came up either in class or in casual talks.
"I honestly don't remember ever discussing abortion with him," he told the Huffington Post. "He and I had talks over lunch and we would talk military affairs. He was always for a strong defense. That was one point where we would come to agreement. That's the only thing I really remember talking to him about."
That Santorum evolved from someone with pro-choice leanings into a hard-lined pro-lifer is not unique. Many Republicans and even some Democrats have made a similar evolution over the course of their political histories. Included on that list is Mitt Romney, the man Santorum is now competing with for the Republican presidential nomination.
