I think the terbutaline question was in play during the year in question. The FDA and some doctors were trying to limit its use and other doctors were really fighting back. This appears to be from 1998.

However, it was a real live issue.

We may have to agree to disagree about how a doctor would likely respond to the Santorums' situation. I think I'm paying attention to some details of the situation (baby will not make it and the longer we drag this out, the more likely the mother will have a bad outcome and we'll get sued over that) while you are attending to others (mother wants to keep baby, try to keep baby). I don't think there's any way to answer the question (can you _imagine_ trying to word a poll question?!?).

Just to be utterly clear: I find the Santorums politics despicable and their unwillingness to respect other people's decision making reprehensible. But I think that representing their beliefs accurately will make that clear without having to impute to them things they do not believe.
