Santorum was foolish to try to discuss this in public.
Why?
His wife years ago related the incident in her book.
If the Santorums are guilty of anything its misjudging the depths to which the political classes and others will sink to work their political will.
And I'm not going to ding them for that - I too am surprised.
Santorum’s wife wrote about all of this in a book before Rick Santorum discussed it.
He didn't. His wife, a nurse, wrote about it in a book. The Santorums are sturdy defenders of life. They have every right to give their testimony of how they valued that child, and resisted letting some institution carry away the corpse to be tossed in an incinerator. No doubt they wanted to examine the child, see who he resembled, and give his body a testament of love and caring with their eyes, arms and hands. If you think the child's soul and the angels were not watching, think again.
Santorum DIDN'T discuss this now. Colmes was having a discussion with Rick Lowrey and Colmes brought it up!
I don't think he did. His wife included it in a book she wrote a while back. They wanted to give the baby a funeral in their home rather than have it go to the hospital morgue.
