Grief

I just saw a bit on TV news about the mothers of stillborn babies, and about how they want the option of receiving birth certificates for the deceased children, which apparently is not an option in every state.

They know, in their grief, that the child they were carrying was somebody, and they hope that a recognition from the state of the life that was would be a support.

Why not? The abortion people oppose the idea, and are fighting it, because, well, if you let people admit what they know in their heart, that an unborn child is somebody, well, there goes one part of the culture of death and convenience.

Post a Comment

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
