Globe and Mail Reports on Funerals for Children Who Die through Miscarriage

Yesterday, Canada's The Globe and Mail reported on a new trend: funerals for children who die in early miscarriages. And strangely, a number of women claiming to be pro-choice are among those holding funerals for their little ones.

Now, I say "strangely" because it does seem like a bizarre twist in pro-abortion/pro-choice logic. If an unborn baby is not a person and is only "potential" life, then are you mourning the loss of the child or the anticipation of having a child? And if the child was only "potential" life, why cremate the remains or bury the tiny body? To what purpose does this signify?

Besides the obvious, publicly mourning the death of an unborn child by holding funerals or cremating the remains may reflect more on the existence of post-abortion syndrome and whether the syndrome will one day be recognized as legitimate. If a woman who claims to be pro-choice feels like she can mourn the loss of her child, why can't the woman who has had an abortion regret it and grieve over the loss of her child?
