Ugly error

I hemmed and hawed over this error in the Charleston Gazette’s editorial on Monday, because we all make mistakes. Besides, I am not the Gazette editorial reviewer. I write editorials for the Charleston Daily Mail, which obviously shows I have a prejudice.

Still the mistake in the editorial bothered me. Maybe if the editorial board of the Charleston Gazette were not so vicious, mean-spirited and perhaps even anti-Catholic in its editorial against Rick Santorum, I might have overlooked it. Here is the error:

"When Santorum’s wife miscarried, he and she brought the dead fetus home “to cuddle and sing to him with his siblings, rather than sending him directly to a funeral home,” The Washington Post reported. Santorum kept a framed photo of the fetus on his U.S. Senate desk."

No, Charleston Gazette, no, no, no.

Missus Santorum did not miscarry.

I have in the past characterized the birth of Gabriel Santorum as an abortion to save the life of the mother, an abortion none the less. If this article is correct, which I have no reason to doubt it, I owe the Santorums an apology. Not IF they were offended, a straight up I'm sorry.

“Santorum said her labor proceeded without having to induce an abortion.”

This is an anti Santorum article, (page down) but they quote from an article with much information and the real details.
