OUR ABORTION WAS DIFFERENT: WHEN THE ANTI-CHOICE CHOOSE

Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania senator and likely presidential
candidate, wants all abortions outlawed. He has even said that abortion
providers should be ?criminally charged.? Clearly, his compassion for
zygotes, fetuses, and other squishy, jelly-like substances not fully
alive is without question. When it comes to actual human beings,
however, there is some doubt. He voted to cut every social and welfare
program that came before him as senator, and not just those helping
women and girls, but those helping the poor, immigrants, children in
general, and, of course, education.

Mr. Santorum doesn?t hate all people, however. As a Republican, he loves
rich people, white people, business people, and Christians. The real
Americans, he calls them. There?s one other person he loves, too: his
wife, Karen Santorum.

He loves her so much, in fact, that in 1997 when she became seriously
ill during the 2nd trimester of her pregnancy, he didn?t want her to
die.

In the 19th week of her pregnancy, Karen discovered during a routine
exam that the fetus she was carrying had a fatal defect and was going to
die inside of her. A long-shot surgery was performed that required
cutting directly into the womb. It carried a high risk of infection and
was performed not to save the fetus, but to reduce Karen?s complications
while she attempted to go full term.

Two days later, she became severely feverish. She was rushed to the
hospital and placed on intravenous antibiotics, which reduced her fever
and bought her some time, but could not eliminate the source of
infection: the fetus.

Karen was going to die if her pregnancy was not ended, if the fetus was
not removed from her body. So, at 20 weeks, one month before what
doctors consider ?viability?, labor was artificially induced and the
infected fetus was delivered. It died shortly thereafter.

They named it Gabriel Michael Santorum.

The event is obviously tragic, especially for Karen, who, like her
husband, opposes any and all forms of abortion, even when it saves a
woman?s life. As her fever subsided, she realized what was happening and
asked for drugs to stop the labor, saying, ?We?re not inducing labor.
That?s abortion. No way.? But it was too late.

Today, hindsight being 20/20, Karen says she would have authorized the
procedure after all, justifying the saving of her own life by explaining
that her other children would have lost a mother.

Indeed.

The procedure, whereby labor is induced to remove the fetus before it
has any chance of surviving on its own, is considered by Mr. Santorum to
be a ?partial-birth abortion?, and he is correct. He also personally
authorized one to save his wife, whom he loves.

Mr. Santorum is opposed to any and all forms of abortion. Incest? Too
bad. Rape? Too bad. Twelve years old? Too bad. Wife, mother, daughter,
lover, friend dying? Too bad.

This hypocrite needs to be kept out of all elective offices for the rest
of his life.

?Abortion in any form is wrong,? said Santorum in 2000, three years
after the tragedy. ?Except for my wife. If your wife?s life was at stake
and the only thing that could save her was an abortion, well, too bad.
Your wife will have to die. It was different with my wife. You see, I
love her. I don?t even know your wife?s name.?
