I first saw an article referring to Barbara Bush's miscarriage this morning. The headline made it seem so macabre, "Fetus in Bottle". That part is so minor in the story. Here's one quote:
The attachment to the fetus lasts long after the pregnancy is over, for months and sometimes years
Throughout this entire article the author and those he quotes use the term fetus. Well, I can tell you why the attachment lasts so long. That fetus? It's a baby. From day one. If it was not alive, would we be so devastated at its loss? No! From the minute I find out I'm pregnant I have loved each and every one of my children. I lost two to miscarriage. The pain and sorrow still lingers to this day.
