WASHINGTON (AP) -- GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum is questioning what he calls a world view by President Barack Obama that "elevates the Earth above man" and requires insurers to pay for prenatal tests that will encourage more abortions.
The former Pennsylvania senator elaborated Sunday on earlier comments that Obama's agenda is based on "some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible."
Santorum tells CBS's "Face the Nation" that he wasn't talking about Obama's Christianity, but a "phony ideal" that more natural resources can't be tapped because it would harm the Earth.
Santorum says Obama's health care overhaul encourages abortions because it requires insurance coverage for prenatal tests that can identify problems in the unborn. Santorum says doctors "more often than not" recommend abortion when those problems are discovered.
