Karen Santorum on Monday assured women that they have “nothing to fear” from her husband.

“He’s completely supportive of women,” she told CNN’s Piers Morgan. “He’s surrounded by a lot of really strong women. Women have nothing to fear when it comes to contraceptives.”

But Rick Santorum has been a vocal critic of contraceptive coverage and use by women. He recently voiced support for the now-defeated Blunt amendment, which would allow employers to deny contraception coverage. And Santorum’s book criticizes women who choose to work outside the home — a passage he says his wife is actually responsible for. Now, Santorum says the contraception debate is just a media “gotcha” trick.

Karen Santorum insisted her husband will do “nothing” on the issue of contraception.
