so if he believed in polygamy and marrying 13 year old wives, then that would be ok by you?

Did it occur to you that he wanted to impress upon his children the values he has - that a premature child is a life - and in this case - a life lost, instead of a blob of cells called a fetus that its ok to chuck out in a trash can?

As a parent - its our responsibility to use life to teach our children. We teach them as best we can. Sometimes its uncomfortable. Sometimes it downright hurts. But that is what love does - it compels us to give them what we believe are the best tools and moral/ethical foundations to succeed. The reality is that you disagree with his morals and ethics, so you have a problem with him passing those on to his children - especially since you can complain about his way of doing it.

yes, I have a problem with zealots trying to brainwash their children with their narrow view of the world. What will mr. Santorum do if his daughter becomes pregnant at 17 because mommy and daddy don't believe in birth control and she decides she really does not want to be a teenage mother?
