Eugene Robinson: Rick Santorum’s Stillborn Baby Story Is “Very Weird” | RealClearPolitics.
The leftie media is still melting down over the manner in which the Santorum’s dealt with the death of their baby boy. They held a sort of mini-wake for the child in their own home. Karen Santorum served a neonatal nurse for several years, and probably has many stories of life and death which would offend the tender sensibilities of Eugene Robsinson.
Many people need to deny the reality of death, though they might actually be supporting medical killing with their votes, or fostering the starvation, poisoning, or malaria deaths of so many people in other countries by supporting ill-conceived “green” policies. The decisions to go to war, and war conduct might change drastically if people were not trying so hard to hide from death.
Perhaps the Santorum-haters would need more than benzodiazepines to sleep at night if they repeatedly saw reality of death as health care workers do, and tried to process the consequences of their voting habits.
Eugene Robinson obtained a Pulitzer prize for his 2008 non-coverage of the most radically pro-abortion and pro-infanticide politician in America.
