Santorum brought their dead baby back home for the kids to meet

91. Medication specifically used to induce labor was not administered.

Antibiotics are not abortive -- a septic enviornment in the uterus is not conducive to life. Even if the antibiotics may have made labor come on a bit sooner, it was a medication that was intended to help mother and child.

This was not an abortion.

Still, we should concentrate on his quote:

---

“The doctors said they were talking about a matter of hours or a day or two before risking sepsis and both of them might die,” Santorum said. “Obviously, if it was a choice of whether both Karen and the child are going to die or just the child is going to die, I mean it’s a pretty easy call.”

And every time the asshat calls exceptions for the health of the mother "phony", we need to remind him of this. EVERY. Damn. Time.

And when he says Catholic hospitals should have the right to FORCE women like Karen to not be able to make that call themselves -- when they refuse to advise patients of all of their options, or insist on transporting unstable patients to other facilities to induce labor -- just because the child still has a heartbeat.

Every. Damn. Time.
