Agreed.
What do these people see as the preferred procedure? Toss the child’s body into a trash can? Request that a mortician “take care of this thing”?
As it happens the scumbag Holmes’ reference to “playing with” the dead child was a despicable smear. The family, as Santorum himself has pointed out, brought the child to their residence for an at-home funeral, in part to acknowledge and commemorate that a loved one was lost, and that this child WAS loved and would always be a part of them all.
This seems to me to be healthy, dignified and blessedly affectionate.
