Apparently all the kids got to hold and commune with the dead baby during the car trip. They have the dead baby with the family for about 24 hours before they take it to the mortuary.

Apparently, the lesson he wished them to learn, was that that, was what abortion did..... From what I heard this morning...

This just is so creepy weird- and I believe it was his way to make an anti-aborion point to his kids.

I wonder if his wife really wanted to participate in this- post stillbirth. My Mom had to carry a dead fetus full term and give "birth"- from what she said about this experience (I wasn't born yet), she experienced both accute and post-truamatic stress symptoms. My parents had a service for the baby- with only themselves in attendance. It was a very personal loss for them and it sounded like they needed to just have this be between the two of them. This just feels so controlling in terms of his wife being in any state to think through doing this. He is just creepy!
