What the Santorums did - assuming that the popular descriptions are true - cannot be called "old-fashioned". i ran this story past an evangelical family member last night, and what he said (which i agree with) was the idea of bring the dead body of the premature baby home in and of itself wouldn't cause him to question santorum....but if the statements were true about him bringing the corpse (call it a baby or a fetus, it doesn't MATTER, they brought home the corpse) home for the other children to meet, cuddle and fondle with the dead baby, he would question the 'mental state' (his words) of santorum....he didn't have a problem with bringing the dead fetus home (nor do i) but he said if the statements attributed to santorum were true about doing so, he said there was a creepiness factor that would make him question the man's mental state.... from my personal perspective, the fondling of the corpse brings up strange dichotomies about professing christians who believe the spirit of the dead child is with god....i can see a mother (and to a lesser degree the father) holding and weeping over a stillborn or premature baby as she tries to acclimate herself to the loss, but i am having a hard time with the nature of putting the corpse on display for the purpose of 'making it real'
