Rick Santorum said he wants “a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman in all 50 states,” Bloomberg reports.
Said Santorum: “I believe we need a national standard for marriage. I don’t think we can have a standard from one state to another on what marriage is,” adding that he wants “to define marriage the way it was defined for 4,000 years of human history.”
The remarks put Santorum to the right of rivals such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Gov. Scott Walker (R), “who are pushing a different kind of constitutional amendment that would allow states to decide whether to allow or ban same-sex marriage, rather than an amendment that would set a national standard.”
