[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I sympathize with those who have experienced miscarriage, to those of us outside the extreme Christian world, a miscarriage is the end of a potential life. It is certainly understandable that affected parents grieve and feel sorrow for the loss of potential life, but it is quite different from experiencing the loss of a child.

Writing an obituary for the loss of a non-viable fetus is a logical extension of the "personhood" movement and, as such, it is a political act. Carried to its logical conclusion, we may soon be seeing obituaries for embryos and even fertilized eggs. If you truly believe that a fertilized egg is a human being with full moral and legal rights, there is no reason not to write an obituary or even hold a funeral for Baby Evangelica, stillborn at 7 days gestation, 0.014 inches long and 150 cells of development.

So it all goes back to access to abortion, abortifacient contraception, and unfettered reproductive technologies.  In order to protect one's ability to destroy, obstruct, hinder, end, enhance--to wit, "control" one's reproduction, one must dehumanize the products of conception so completely that no one is allowed to respect the inherent value of life from conception to birth.

So true.  So logical.[/quote]
