This is maybe the one aspect of his endorsement of Specter that puzzles me the most as well.
Santorum is probably the most vocal pro-life Senator on the hill. He and his wife chose to complete her pregnancy, although they knew that the child would die within hours of its birth (and he died in Rick's arms, two hours after he entered the world).
His wife, Karen, even wrote a book, 'Letters to Gabriel' composed of letters that she wrote to their terminal son during the nine months that she carried him.
Rick has sponsored and strongly supported the most powerful anti-abortion bills ever written.
So that he could endorse an advocate of abortion-on-demand, and a defender of PBA, involved a serious compromise of strongly-held principles -- brought about, no doubt, by political extortion, and pressure by the President.
It's more than sad for Toomey. It's yet another strike against the innocent unborn.
