Except that nobody would have known about it if Rick Santorum had not told them.
He made it a public issue.
Why?
Who knows? Could be an experiment to see how much human garbage would pop up.
Maybe to show that he’s pro-life? and that his family has dealt with difficulty? Was the statement taken out of context?
Because it is a life altering event...because it makes you realize how precious all life is..because...never mind, you wouldn’t understand..and I pray that you never have to suffer through an experience that MIGHT make you understand...until then, don’t judge what you have not experienced..just be grateful.
Whom exactly are you claiming that Santorum told that ‘made it a public issue’? You sound like you’ve never heard of ‘opposition research’. If you don’t know exactly whom ‘was told’, you can’t honestly claim that Santorum made it a ‘public issue’, can you? So why don’t you drop your unfounded assumptions - you sound almost as bad as a-hole Colmes himself.
Who knows? Maybe he was making a point concerning the value of human life - every human life. Perhaps he didn't think baring his soul over such a personal matter would have political repurcussions down the road. Maybe he isn't aware of how disgustingly low the level of political discourse has become in this country.
I must admit as cynical as I've become that some would make an issue out of this surprises even me.
For Rick Santorum, Politics Could Hardly Get More Personal

This article is over six and a half years old AND the portion about Rick Santorum prefaced discussion regarding partial birth abortion and its horrors.
CONTEXT, people.
He made it a public issue.
Why?
Santorum's wife has worked as an intensive care neonatal nurse for 9 years. She mentioned this is a book she authored about her experiences.
STFU, Colmes.
Why should he keep the death of a member of his family secret?
