They Make Trash Bags for That

Here’s a fitting word from Mark Steyn on Alan Colmes’s recent remarks about the “crazy” response of Rick Santorum and his wife to the death of their newborn:

Santorum’s respect for all life, including even the smallest bleakest meanest two-hour life, speaks well for him, especially in comparison with his fellow Pennsylvanian, the accused mass murderer Kermit Gosnell, an industrial-scale abortionist at a Philadelphia charnel house who plunged scissors into the spinal cords of healthy delivered babies. Few of Gosnell’s employees seemed to find anything “weird” about that: Indeed, they helped him out by tossing their remains in jars and bags piled up in freezers and cupboards. Much less crazy than taking ’em home and holding a funeral, right? (“The Left’s So-Called Empathy”).
