Need birth certificates

| April 12, 2013 9:00 AM

On Nov. 10, 1976 Rachael Ann was born. She only touched a few lives during the three days of her life, but she was no less loved than any other daughter. Although she only lived a few days, the State recognized her existence as a person by issuing her a birth certificate.

Since our courts will not allow us to stop abortion, I would like to see legislation requiring birth and death certificates for aborted babies. A birth certificate would allow us to acknowledge that a human life, a person, had existed on this earth, however brief that may be.

If you feel that these lives should be acknowledged, cherished and remembered, please write or call your legislative representatives and let them know.
