Rick Santorum has represented Pennsylvania in both the House and the Senate. Santorum is seen as a social and fiscal conservative. He is strongly pro-life, believes that Planned Parenthood should not receive government funding, and wants to repeal “ObamaCare.” Santorum opposes benefits for undocumented immigrants and supports a border fence as well the institutionalization of English as the only official language. In relation to Iran, he believes that “these radical Islamists are on the verge of having a nuclear weapon”, that strict sanctions should be imposed, and the U.S. should refuse to negotiate on any level with it. Santorum strongly believes that the U.S. should stand by Israel and has claimed that “no Palestinians” live in the West Bank. He has also said that civil law must align with “a higher law: God’s law.”. Santorum believes that since “China and Islam are competing for the hearts and minds” of Africans, the U.S. should continue to give humanitarian aid to Africa.
