re: #233 Aceofwhat?

I keep trying to figure out who the hell you guys are talking about.

IIRC, the baby had a defect. They opted for intrauterine surgery, which was difficult but quite successful. Shortly thereafter, there was an infection which led to the premature birth and death of the baby.

So…what, they should have chopped it up in utero once they realized they were in for a premature birth instead of delivering it and letting it expire peacefully? I’m going to need a LOT of help to figure out how we’re allowed to cast judgment here.

No. This baby had what was described as “a fatal defect,” and the Santorums were told it would survive outside the womb for only a few hours. And they were told this very early in the pregnancy.
