It's a pity some folks are hung up on government approval of even the smallest details of their lives. But, the fact remains, people are who they are. No guns needed, and the government can call people whatever they want. Free people can answer if they choose.
And the media is free to call Connor by his name. And the grandparents are free to bury their murdered grandchild and put a head stone on his grave with his name on it.
Connor was alive, now he is dead. His father murdered him and has no remorse. He will burn in hell if there is fire there.
That may be true. But the courts no more recognize me as "Bluegrass Conservative" than they recognize this fetus as "Connor Peterson." A judicial system HAS to be built upon some standards. The standard that our's uses in regards to names is that you are the name on your birth certificate, provided there is not official court documents stating you have had that changed.

Yes, I know the media is free to do so. But they are also free to call him "fetus" if they choose and should not be criticized for doing so. And of course the grandparents are free to bury him and put his "name" on the stone. It would be fitting and proper for them to do so. Connor was alive, now he is dead. His father murdered him and has no remorse.
Laci Peterson was pregnant and had a fetus living inside her because of her physical support. A jury believed Scott Peterson killed Laci, and in turn cut off all support to the fetus, rendering it dead as well. If Scott Peterson is truly guilty of these crimes (and I believe he is), he will indeed burn in hell (if there is fire there).
