re: #233 Aceofwhat?

I haven’t said word one about Santorum’s particular case. However, I believe this to be true:

he couple were told by doctors early in the pregnancy that the baby Karen was carrying had a fatal defect and would survive only for a short time outside the womb.

I am saying that if you know that a child will be born to only a short life of pain, then it is monstrous to allow that to happen if you have the means to prevent that suffering.

I don’t favor any legislation to mandate that this be so, however, since it’s far too complex an area to craft law on.
