Santorum took home wife's dead 20 week old fetus from the hospital, forced his kids to hold, KISS, talk and sing to it, then took family photos!

Is there anyplace , in the article in the Washington Post, where it says the children were forced to kiss and cuddle the deceased baby???

Excuse me ... but ... I think this belongs to you ........

"It's always wrong to hate, but it's never wrong to love."

We're not talking about a dead 1 year old, we're talking about a baby that never got to experience life outside the womb or meet the family. I find it incredible that you have decided you get to judge the grieving process of this family. How dare you. How dare you.

Others have already shown this statement to be false.

And then he gobbled it up and completed his initiation into politics.

Excuse me ... but ... I think this belongs to you ........

"It's always wrong to hate, but it's never wrong to love."

From the article - which we could put any kind of meaning to it -

"He and Karen brought Gabriel's body home so their children could "absorb and understand that they had a brother," Santorum says."

So how they decided to make it clear to the kids, the kids still saw a dead 20 week fetus.

and you all just need to stfu, its their business.

You forgot the part about the nice bottle of Chianti in the fridge.



let me know if I went too far.

Which others do you speak? - those that had a miscarriage or as the medical community calls it a "spontaneous abortion".

Or those of us that raised kids and would never disrespect them as to take a pic when they are dead?

Oh and astromut, we did not judge his family, just him and his wife, his children had no say in the matter.

Apparently you have trouble reading, it was one of the first things posted in this thread.

"There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and 1 1/2. They took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass."

Unless you believe 6, 4 and 1 1/2 year olds have the ability to decide things like this for themselves? I guess they said, "hey daddy, can I please kiss my 6inch baby brother you have in the palm of your hand" That 1 1/2 year old sure is mature, I guess it should be able to decide if it wants to have sex or not too if it is able to decide whether or not it wants to kiss dead fetuses...

How nice that you were fortunate enough to be able to take pictures of your son before he died. Not all of us are so lucky.

Geez.. that's just one step short of having it stuffed and mounted on the wall.

You know damn well what I meant by my words, and yes, you are incredibly judgemental. I will now vote for Santorum, just to spite people like you. Hadn't made up my mind till today. I'm serious.

I didn't take pics of the little thing - he was dead for God's sake!

There is not ONE reference to the children cuddling or kissing the deceased baby. Reread the article again genius.

OP AND ALL OTHERS WHO DONT LIKE THIS I HOPE YOU DONT HAVE KIDS AS YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING THAT CHILD IS A HUMAN NOT A THING AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH WITH RESPECT AND LOVE

SHAME ON U
I LOST A BABY BEFORE WHILE 5 MONTHS PREGNANT
NO HEARTBEAT
I HAD TO GO IN AND DELIVER THE BABY BOY I CALLED ISRAEL
I HAVE PICTURES SAVED OF HIM
HE IS STILL A CHILD OF MINE
NOT A THING BURIED SOMEWHERE

No, they took their 20-week-old BABY home. They held their BABY, showed the siblings their BABY BROTHER WHO HAD DIED, and then held a funeral for their BABY.

Just for your information, all you grown-up fetuses out there, many babies born today near that stage can be saved in the NICU.

How would you feel if their 2-year-old had died at the hospital and they'd just asked the doctor to flush it for them?

Anyone reading this who is against abortion had better make some decisions about when it's a baby and when it's just a lump of flesh. I do not know how to copy pictures into a post, but take a quick look at what a BABY looks like at 20 weeks. VEry small, but fully formed and sucking its thumb.

You think Santorum's the sicko? Tossing a stillborn child out at the hospital is what's sick. What they did speaks volumes about Santorum's character--and what all of you posted above says volumes about yours.

Make no mistake, God will judge. Both Santorum and YOU. And looks like it might be soon, too.

I will not judge Santorum's family for their way of grieving.

There is not ONE reference to the children cuddling or kissing the deceased baby. Reread the article again genius.

You made a judgement, that this makes him suitable.

Where, in the article, which you are using as your information to judge, does it say the children were FORCED to kiss and cuddle the deceased baby???

People mourn their dead differently but I have to say that taking your dead child home to cuddle freaks me out.
