"Wrenching Politics" Concerning Stillborn Babies?

Dr. Al Mohler wrote the following in his blog yesterday as he considered a bill going before the CA Senate.

Should stillborn babies be assigned birth certificates?

Here is the perverse logic of our times comes down to this: A baby stillborn in one hospital room is granted a birth certificate and a death certificate. The baby's parents are required to bury or cremate the baby's remains (true in all 50 states) and the baby is usually named.

Meanwhile, just down the hall, another baby of the same gestational age can be ripped apart in its mother's womb and removed as unwanted biological material. That baby is not named, is not granted a death certificate, and is not listed among the hospital's births. The insanity of this should be obvious to all.
