After his strong show in Iowa, media pundits came out with stories from his past, including one below-the-belt attack. BY {related_entries id="alternate_author"}Santorum tragedy exposes perversion of abortion industry{/related_entries} January 17, 2012 (Bound4Life.com) - Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has been facing some criticism in the media about an event that highlights the perversion of the abortion industry. After his strong show in Iowa, media pundits came out with stories from his past, including one below-the-belt attack regarding the Santorums’ tragedy in 1996 when their baby Gabriel was born prematurely at 20 weeks, and died after only two hours of life. The Santorums chose to take their baby home to let the family see and grieve his life. This story will tell you the background if you missed the attacks and criticism behind their decision. But what no news agency is talking about is the perverted irony of the situation. The Santorums took their baby home to let their family understand the death and properly mourn the loss of life, as people do in grief. This was especially important for their children to understand the value of life. ABC News reported that Karen Santorum wrote in her book (addressing Gabriel): ‘‘Elizabeth and Johnny held you with so much love and tenderness,” she wrote. “Elizabeth proudly announced to everyone as she cuddled you, ‘This is my baby brother, Gabriel; he is an angel.’‘ The story adds: But some mental health experts believe the Santorums may have been ahead of their time by ritualizing their son’s death in order to exorcize their grief, though they say taking a body home is unusual and not recommended. What’s notable is that many of those mental health experts would say that abortion is an appropriate choice and recommended in certain cases. And one of the popular methods for abortion also involves a dead baby in the home, but not in such a natural way. Click “like” if you want to end abortion! RU-486, also known as a medical abortion, has a patient go home and take the series of pills and, literally, deliver a dead baby into the toilet. Does that sound harsh? Perhaps that’s because it’s harsh on the baby who’s flushed away. According to Planned Parenthood’s own description, which you can find here, here’s what happens with the abortion pill: You and your health care provider will plan the timing and place for the second step. You’ll take the second medicine up to three days after taking the abortion pill. Your health care provider will give you instructions on how and when to take the second medicine…The second medicine — misoprostol — will cause you to have cramps and bleed heavily. Some women may begin bleeding before taking the second medicine. But for most, the bleeding and cramping begin after taking it. It usually lasts a few hours. You may see large blood clots or tissue at the time of the abortion. ...More than half of women abort within four or five hours after taking the second medicine. For others, it takes longer. But most women abort within a few days. It’s normal to have some bleeding or spotting for up to four weeks after the abortion. Please read between the lines. You go home (you can go other places but most women go home or to a loved one’s home, which is the point of choosing a medical abortion), take pills, bleed profusely and within 4-5 hours deliver a dead baby, called “bleeding heavily.” The cruel irony of these stories is that the Santorums showed a regard and value for life by taking their son home and allowing their family to treasure and love him, while the abortion industry shows a total disregard for life by sending a woman home to flush out the baby. The ones that have valued life are said to be weird and fringe and the ones that have devalued life are praised for making a “safe and legal choice.” This story isn’t about a presidential candidate, but about a family who values life. You don’t have to agree with his politics to see the issue at hand. The Bible warns in Isaiah 5:20: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Do we see this in the abortion industry? That it would call such an evil good is horrific enough, but to turn and then label a family who values life as a deviation from good and normal proves the twisted culture in which we live. Amos speaks of those “who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground” (Amos 5:7). The justice of a life of the innocent being allowed to live is being cast into the ground, flushed out through the sewers and called right by an industry that values death in the name of choice. The Santorums’ story isn’t political, it’s human. It’s about the value of life and a family who is training their own children to value all life. That we live in a culture that could condemn this is only another line of evidence that we are a nation in trouble from the destruction of legalized murder.
