Q
If a fetus is a human being, how come the census doesn’t count them? If a fetus is a human being, how come when there’s a miscarriage they don’t have a funeral? If a fetus is a human being, how come people say “we have two children and one on the way” instead of saying “we have three children?”
A

Many people do have funerals for miscarried babies. The Duggar Family recently had one for their miscarried baby.

I have also heard plenty of people count their unborn children as part of the family. Most of the Christians I know began saying “I’m a mommy!” as soon as they got pregnant.
