Friday afternoon, Santorum visited Dublin High School in New Hampshire and faced a semi hostile crowd of mostly students as well as some people from the area. Santorum had planned to talk mostly about Obamas health care program, but to his surprise, the students were more interested in talking about social topics.
One student asked if gays and lesbians should be aloud to fight in the military and get married. Santorum responded by saying that DADT should be reinstated and that a marriage is between a man and a woman, for the purpose of procreation. Another Student told Santorum that her brother is handicapped, and that they need government aid to help take care of him. Santorum simply said that he has a handicapped daughter and "they manage". He also suggested that her friends, neighbors, and church should help bear the expenses of her brother. Finally a young girl opened up about being sexually abused and explaining how important it is for a woman to be able to choose. Santorum surprised the girl by saying that he would not ban contraceptives. When asked how the students feel about the candidates answers afterward, the last girl was the only one of the three that was satisfied.
