3. I don't get it.
Look I'm a guy so I probably shouldn't even be commenting on this. But I don't get why people can't see that it's all about what the woman herself feels about the pregnancy. (Which totally supports pro choice-you have a CHOICE to want the baby or not.) If you want to have an abortion and call the fetus a fetus, then great. That's your choice. If you want the baby but tragically lost it and you want to call the baby a baby, then great. How hard is this to understand? You follow whatever the woman wants because it's her body and her choice. I saw on another thread somebody was making fun of Rick Santorum for taking their stillborn baby home to mourn it. Look I live in PA and I think Santorum is a nutcase, but that was his kid and they wanted to mourn it in that way, so how does that hurt anyone else?

I'm sorry about your losses and I think that however you reacted was totally up to you and totally right. This was a good post thanks.
