I'm gonna share on FB too...I do believe, especially with Santorum, that even if a child or partner, parent or sibling of theirs was to benefit from a stem cell procedure they would still stand firm and watch their loved one suffer and possibly die without the medical help. Santorum is one who thinks suffering is something to be proud of! What a crock!
