I know this is a sensitive topic. Lost two here ourselves, I noticed how all the media sources including CNN address it as a baby. They even named him Jack. This is not pointed at the Legends but the media how they got it right in this case by calling it a baby. I know you canâ€™t say that the Legends lost a clump of cells. Still, the media calls it a baby. In other words, a baby is a baby based on the desire of the parents.

I noticed the same thing. Definitely no criticism toward the parents from me either. We lost four and I am well acquainted with the pain. This was a baby they intended to bring to term and their loss is concrete and real, whatever their beliefs on the topic in general. I have prayed more than once for them today, as I have seen the news scrolling past me.

But I noticed the same concerning the media. Whether the baby is human depends entirely on the viewpoint of its mother. That's not at all inconsistent with pro-choice dogma. But it's a senseless way to identify whether a life is real and worth protecting.

Again, this is not directed at the Legends....I feel their grief
