Santorum’s wife dated abortion doctor in the 1980s
Karen Santorum, the ultra-pro-life wife and mother of seven home-schooled children, has been the perfect complement to her husband, Rick, as he chases the Republican presidential nomination. On the campaign trail, the candidate often refers to her book, Letters to Gabriel,
the story of the devoutly Catholic couple’s traumatic late-term 1997
miscarriage (the 20-week-old fetus lived two hours outside the womb).
The couple opposes birth control as well as abortion, even in cases of
rape.
But
Mrs. Santorum, 51, apparently wasn’t always committed to the cause. In
fact, her live-in partner through most of her 20s was Tom Allen, a
Pittsburgh obstetrician and abortion provider 40 years older than she,
who remains an outspoken crusader for reproductive rights and liberal
ideals. Dr. Allen has known Mrs. Santorum, born Karen Garver, her entire
life: he delivered her in 1960.
