David Porter acted as former anti-LGBT rights PA Senator Rick Santorum‘s lawyer for a period of time, representing him in a dispute about his ability to claim residency in Pennsylvania and in a lawsuit challenging the proposed deactivation of a Pennsylvania National Guard unit.
He even authored a review of Santorum’s book, It Takes a Family (a book so backwards in its proclamations that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said it exuded, “the breath of the 19th century). In that review, Porter lauded Santorum’s contention that healthy families are “mom and dad families,” and said the book is a, “a thoughtful articulation of conservative vision and public policy, leavened with real life examples and practical solutions.”
Santorum criticized the nation’s highest court for “redefining what family is,” and warned the recent decision legalizing marriage equality nationwide would have dire consequences.
“What the Supreme Court did last week was a loss,” Santorum said. “It’s a loss for America.”
As evidence, Santorum pointed to a rise in unmarried couples raising children together – a trend recently documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, though not attributed to the growing number of states that allow gay and lesbian couples to wed.
