Thank you, Rick and Karen Santorum, for living the Christ-like example of sacrifice and right priorities. Nothing is more precious or important than the life of an innocent child. Our prayers are with Bella, a perfect child in an imperfect world.
God bless the beautiful Santorum family.
- Sarah and Todd Palin and family
I so admire the respect for life exhibited by the Santorum family and the Palin family.
They live their beliefs. They understand the beauty of their blessings.

Santorum says daughter, Bella, 3, will be OK
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who scaled back campaign appearances to be with his 3-year-old daughter, Bella, at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said Sunday night the little girl was getting better and should be able to go home in a few days.
Speaking to Florida supporters by phone from Bella's hospital room, Santorum said she'd had a rough 36 hours with pneumonia, but was awake, alert and back to being a "beautiful, happy girl."
Bella, one of seven Santorum children, suffers from a serious genetic disorder called Trisomy 18, a condition caused by a third copy of material from chromosome 18 instead of two, leading to a wide array of physical and mental problems.
His campaign had released a statement Sunday morning saying Santorum intended to "return to Florida and resume the campaign schedule as soon as is possible." Florida's primary election is Tuesday.
Bella, whose full name is Isabella Maria Santorum, has become a symbol of Santorum's steadfast pro-life stance on the campaign trail.
He has mentioned her in interviews and at events, saying in a video in October: "Bella makes us better."
In a column Santorum wrote for The Inquirer in 2010, he said his daughter's condition requires constant attention and "she is worth every tear."
