Rick Santorum, Primate

Spread the love

Matt Thompson at Savage Minds discovered this: My much asteemed colleague Sara Hrdy (who wrote this book, and other books on this list) happen to use Santorum as an example in her writings of several years ago:

The abortion issue is notorious for generating so much “heat” and so little “light.” On this particular occasion, one of the senators debating the issue (Rick Santorum, Republican from Pennsylvania) became “so emotional” that the blood vessels leading to his stomach constricted, while those leading to his heart and brain dilated. Responding to signals from the most ancient portions of his brain, his pounding heart caused the face of this deeply threatened mammal to flush “crimson” in preparation for a fight. His voice rose to such a pitch that colleagues had to intervene.

That’s just a taste. Read the longer quote with context HERE.
