This is a thread on the Politics & Current Event's board about the baby the Duggar's lost. Prepare to be disgusted.

Re: um, wow.
...did you read the comment about the blob? I'm literally
Ughhhh...ew.
While I don't agree with their bazillion kids and kids raising their other kids lfiestyle (or their use of paper plates/bowls/throwaway utensils at every meal), I see nothing weird or wrong about how they are handling their current situation. I was a wreck over a miscarriage at 15 weeks, I can't imagine going in for an anatomy scan and losing a baby. I'd be a disaster. I really do feel for them in this situation.
I would like to see how half of those individual truly feel after they go throw something similar. I had an aunt who lost a baby pretty far along, knew it was a girl and they named and buried it.
Not to get into a huge abortion discussion but I wonder if some of those individuals who think the way they do with this baby with it being as far along and think it shouldn't have a name or burial, etc, would not feel too torn about aborting late into term. I guess pushing the number of kids aside, would they have these thoughts of their own miscarriage if the critics were in their shoes? I never have lost a kid and I hope I never have to but why does our society lack compassion for others? Why do we take glory in others pain?
I know the family knows they have many critics but this was a child of theirs and they are the mindset as many, a baby is a baby at conception.
Sickening. I would like to think that all they saw was - Duggars, miscarriage, named the baby, and funeral...or they're just trying to stir the pot.
I do not judge what they're doing in this circumstance whatsoever! My first miscarriage was at 11 weeks and was a blighted ovum. So, it basically was a "bundle of cells," but I can tell you with certainty that it was large enough to see with the naked eye. And even though there "was no baby," I was encouraged to name him as part of my grieving process. I let DH use the horrible name that I would never give a living child. I also planted a tree in his honor.
