Even Dubya to me would be more sympathetic.
So once again the loony left manages to make everything a parisan issue. You can't even set aside your liberal hatred for someone who lost a child. No wonder people think liberalism is a mental disorder.

Exactly! Which begs the question why not?>

The "loony left" did not start this thread.

It was a right wing poster that made this a partisan issue in the OP, or didn't you read the title of this thread?

Fail.


The last two sentences of your post just eliminate any credibility you might have had on this issue, and the shame should be on you. How dare YOU assume that liberals don't suffer emotionally from miscarriages.

There's a mental disorder here alright, and it has little to do with politics.

More manufactured outrage.
Including the state where Santorum is from!

Mr. Barrett said the DA's office is looking into possible violations of the Pennsylvania Health Code, which requires that specific procedures be followed when disinterring a body and that bodies be kept sealed.

"Violations of those health code provisions would be an offense punishable as a criminal offense," he said.

Now that is weird, taking your buddy out for drinks? I don't see how any one could justify this. Sounds like that movie Weekend at Bernies. But hey, who are we to judge

I hate defending Rick Santorum for anything. I think the man is a jackass at best and a sleazy threat to civil liberties at worst.

However, we all grieve in different ways and some things help us cope better than others. Saying goodbye to a stillborn baby the way they did might seem bizarre and even ghoulish to some people, but what he did is no different than many grieving traditions from around the world. In many cultures it is seen as normal to touch the body of loved one as a sign of respect and to spend time with the body as part of the grieving process.

There are plenty of things I can condemn him for, but I cannot criticize him for that.

Exactly. No one can judge how others deal with their grief after the loss of a loved one.

Now is we can just get those pesky laws about disinterring a body off the books, we could go about our grieving process without having to hide our dead loved ones.
