this is a pretty incredible (shocking almost) story

normally i wouldn't post something like this because it's SO sensitive and SO private. it's important i do so however.


it's a do as i say not as i do tale. it's a rich white tale. it's a tale of i'll do it if i want to but YOU fucking CAN'T




it's a tragic tale.


it SHOULD be a tale of understanding, compassion and freedom of choice. (found via twitter of @grrlscientist)

OUR ABORTION WAS DIFFERENT: WHEN THE ANTI-CHOICE CHOOSE
Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania senator and likely presidential candidate, wants all abortions outlawed. He has even said that abortion providers should be “criminally charged.” Clearly, his compassion for zygotes, fetuses, and other squishy, jelly-like substances not fully alive is without question. When it comes to actual human beings, however, there is some doubt. He voted to cut every social and welfare program that came before him as senator, and not just those helping women and girls, but those helping the poor, immigrants, children in general, and, of course, education.

Mr. Santorum doesn’t hate all people, however. As a Republican, he loves rich people, white people, business people, and Christians. The real Americans, he calls them. There’s one other person he loves, too: his wife, Karen Santorum.

He loves her so much, in fact, that in 1997 when she became seriously ill during the 2nd trimester of her pregnancy, he didn’t want her to die.

In the 19th week of her pregnancy, Karen discovered during a routine exam that the fetus she was carrying had a fatal defect and was going to die inside of her. A long-shot surgery was performed that required cutting directly into the womb. It carried a high risk of infection and was performed not to save the fetus, but to reduce Karen’s complications while she attempted to go full term..................
