We Heart: Funny or Die Counsels Rick Santorum on “Aborting” His Campaign

Rick Santorum likes to tell women to “make the best out of a bad situation,” but he didn’t take his own advice with his own presidential run. After trailing Mitt Romney, he officially ended his campaign last week.

But did anyone notice just how easy it was for Santorum to abort his campaign? He didn’t have to wait 72 hours or drive four hours across state lines to do it. Who knows if he even received a signed parental consent form?

Luckily, some funny women at the comedy website Funny or Die volunteered to give Santorum their own abortion counseling session. They include Michelle Trachtenberg (pictured above), Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings), Katy Mixon (Mike and Molly) and longtime feminist Ashley Judd.

So, Mr. Santorum, how does it feel?
