Lynn Vincent points out some word usage in a terrible story of a couple who had a miscarriage within a month of conception. To sum it up, the mother discharged the tissue naturally at home and then wanted to cremate their child properly. Miscommunication began between all officials involved, and soon the police had entered their apartment on a report that they were keeping human remains.

The coroner is quoted saying, “The husband was nothing other than cooperative and gracious, and I felt very bad for him. We run into cases where people don’t want anything to do with the baby, and here you run into circumstances where someone wants to do the right thing. I was a little surprised to see a detective there.”

Note the coroner used the word baby. Lynn writes: “But with abortion-on-demand, this country has created a linguistic looking glass: On one side of it, a baby is a baby and the parents of a dead baby grieve. But on the other side is a lethal Wonderland where, as Alice said, everything is ‘nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. . . .'”

God help us.
