Does everyone here know that Santorum's wife gave birth to a child with a serious birth defect who died in her arms? She has published a book of letters that she wrote to her unborn child. Supposedly she had a hard time getting it published because it was "too Catholic."

Those who think Senator Santorum is only playing games with this bill need to think about it some more.

Discernment, indeed.

It's called "Letters to Gabriel" .. He had a kidney defect and the doctors suggested to the Santorum's to have an abortion because there was no hope for their baby. They didn't listen and looked for a doctor that could help. It almost worked but she went into premature labor and Gabriel died soon after being born. It's a very touching story she wrote of what they went through at the time.

I hadn't heard the story that she had trouble getting it published, but I'm glad she did get it published.
