Anyone “offended” by those photos must be so obsessed with their anti-life agenda that they can’t see the love expressed therein.

Pro-abortion groups DO realize the humanity of the unborn child, they just don’t care. Abortion is a huge money operation and the ones making money don’t care that they are sacrificing the unborn. The biggest joke on them will be at the end of time when God judges and everyone of those aborted babies, including the at home chemically aborted ones will be alive and well and beautiful because they had no sin attached to them. They may be the ones sitting in judgment of the aborters.

Any woman that has had a baby growing in their womb becomes attached to it, unless something is wrong with her brain. It’s real. it’s human, it’s hers.

Taking a photo to remember the baby as a real person that died is something
most idiots would not understand.

Here’s disturbing:

Like Mrs. Duggar, I too lost a child in the second trimester. I didn’t have the luxury of being able to say good bye to my child the way the Duggars were able to.

My last memory is one of a nurse hurrying away from me in a hospital bathroom with my child in a cardboard cup. I never even knew whether it was a boy or a girl.

I’d have given anything to be able to grieve that loss the way the Duggars were able to. For me, losing my child is an awful, sterile memory.

Prayers sent for you
Many understand your loss, because we have also endured it.
I lost five children in the first trimester.
During those many dark times, it seemed as if there was an unwritten societal rule I was breaking, in grieving for my dead,unborn babies.
I wondered then, as I still do, why people would ever pretend a baby did not die, and silently demand that parents should not grieve over the loss of their unborn dead children.

I have one child who was born alive, and she thrived, against all (supposed) medical odds against her.
