1. What foolishness is this? Side door reproductive rights assault?

[dembotoz]

2. does not seem that side door to me

[Madam Mossfern]

4. I lost a baby at 17 weeks

this would have helped me grieve. It was devastating for me.
I see nothing restrictive or horrible about it, but merely a way
to achieve closure for some.

6. It's another foot in the door to stop reproductive rights.

[Madam Mossfern]

8. How so?

Do you think that it declares personhood for the fetus?
It's not mandatory. There are those who consider a fertilized egg a 'child'.
This won't make them think differently.

I'd like to see the legislation and a prototype of the certificate before I
pass judgement on it.

7. Sorry you had to go through that

And I agree as this is completely voluntary I don't see the issue with it.

[irisblue]

12. I am very sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sympathies.

[Warpy]

3. It's voluntary, so it doesn't sound that horrible

and covers 9 weeks-20 weeks. Some people will want them.

5. If life begins at conception

Why do only nine-week old fetuses get certificates/ Shouldn't you be able to get a certificate every month just in case you have a fertilized egg that never attached?

[Madam Mossfern]

9. It may have something to do with 'quickening'

...feeling the fetus move.

10. If it's something families want, then I don't have a problem with it.

It would be another matter if it were coerced, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

11. With a slimy bastard like Rick Scott agreeing to it

don't believe for a second that there is not some very ulterior motive for it. He's not known for his dedication to grieving parents' feelings.

[AngryAmish]

13. Miscarriages are agony.

You feel like you lost a baby or child.

If the parents want it, why not?

Go police someone else's grief somewhere else.
