Ugh. It's tempting not to use the story of my son who died at 23 weeks gestation when I see comments like these....
I feel like I would be exploiting him and his situation if I did, but at the same time I feel like it's important testimony of how very precious and very human a little unborn baby is. I could not see him the day that I delivered him because I was careful to protect my heart that day. But my husband did see him and hold him and took pictures of him before we sent him off to be cremated. He took some pictures of him and I finally saw those pictures about a month later when I was ready. He had his dad's nose. We named him Joseph and I'm telling you that he is/was very much a person.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
