In the 19th week of her pregnancy, Karen discovered during a routine exam that the fetus she was carrying had a fatal defect and was going to die inside of her. A long-shot surgery was performed that required cutting directly into the womb. It carried a high risk of infection and was performed not to save the fetus, but to reduce Karen’s complications while she attempted to go full term.

Two days later, she became severely feverish. She was rushed to the hospital and placed on intravenous antibiotics, which reduced her fever and bought her some time, but could not eliminate the source of infection: the fetus.

Karen was going to die if her pregnancy was not ended, if the fetus was not removed from her body. So, at 20 weeks, one month before what doctors consider ‘viability’, labor was artificially induced and the infected fetus was delivered. It died shortly thereafter.

Sounds to be like she aborted the fetus to save her own life.

OK, this explains why people are saying she had an abortion because if this is true, she did in fact have an abortion.  But the article nilla linked to says that while they were deciding whether or not to induce labor, she went into labor on her own.  I'm not really believing that but I wasn't there so I don't know.  The article also says that Santorum keeps a picture of the dead baby on his desk.  Just...ick.

Read that article factory, it's very interesting. When Santorum met his wife (she was 20 at the time) she was living with a 60 year old doctor who had a clinic and performed abortions. Santorum was pro-choice when they met. Some strange stuff in that article.
