I didn't say all; I said some of them. One example (who happens to be a politician, because that's who goes on record) is Rick Santorum. Here's a quote: “One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country,” the former Pennsylvania senator explained. “It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
