Yes, that was the underlying issue of the article. First there was a snide insinuation that they had premarital sex, then the insinuation that they should wait for the magic 12 weeks to announce because they would be out of the danger zone, which is not always true. But she said she considered that life began at conception so didn’t mind announcing early because if there actually was a loss, she would grieve that an actual child died. I agree and was in no way disparaging the mother or promoting anything other than life is precious and begins at conception. I would know, I have never gotten over my miscarriage at 9.5 weeks. I have no idea why Kaslin made the remark that there is a name for people like me. Perhaps he isn’t pro life?

I think it was just a misunderstanding with Kaslin. She (iirc) posts a lot of articles (very helpfully) and gets a zillion replies; no doubt it’s confusing sometimes, especially trying to sort out sarcasm from straight-up commentary.

I agree with Jill (and you). Whatever happens in the future, she and her husband and all nice people can be happy about the baby who’s alive now. I didn’t tell anyone except my husband and a few FRiends (privately) about my last pregnancy until almost 20 weeks, because I didn’t want my mother to know. Some of my church friends figured it out, but they speak Spanish and my family doesn’t. “Mama, why were the ladies touching your stomach and giggling?” “They just noticed I’m getting fat.” And one of the cats went absolutely nuts over me, before there were any other symptoms. He’d lie on my stomach and gasp and drool.
