What a sick, twisted, despicable thing for a mother to do to her child. That borders on emotional abuse. I can't even describe how much this makes me hate her guts.

White trash because she had a miscarriage?

You need a psychological eval my friend.

White trash for causing her children emotional trauma by sporting around a miscarried fetus in a pickle jar.

At least she didn't dump a live new born off in the dumpster like today's mothers would or shove a coat hanger up there to kill it.

She carried it to full term & obviously it was dead, which made him a lot better person by not believing in abortion.

You have to remember this was 60 something years ago before we really had modern medicine.

My great grandmother had a miscarriage too, what do you have to say about that?

You cant hide things, when you do kids find out and think its wrong. But when you address it you teach cause and effect.
I don't teach my stepson abstinence. I know how it a man thinks but I do teach him to were a "jacket"
If I had a chance I would show him his half brother. Because I hope he knows that crap happens and there is a result.

But there's nothing gruesome about a step-brother or a jacket. A dead baby in a jar is a gruesome sight. Not the same at all. Not to mention having unprotected sex and going out in the cold without a jacket are choices that someone can make. A miscarriage isn't a choice so there's no lesson to be learned.

Biz-arro- Babs. Seriously that is whacked.

Seems to me after an incident like that I'd be wondering what the heck is up with my mom.
It's not like women who have abortions ask for the D&C to take home and put in a jar?!?! To show other family members, let alone offspring?!?
Seriously what the f***???

How he came away with "respect life" is beyond me. (Yes, when I respect things I like to put them in mayo jars and parade them around)
But then again I've never been to keen on his "thought" process.
There was a time when it was the norm for women to be expected to collect their miscarried fetus, in a sterile jar, and take it to their doctors office or the hospital with them. I recall an aunt having to do so as recent as the late 1960's or early 1970's.

I guess I am surprised that women today don't understand how well they have it and how strong women generations before them had to be. Mothers did not coddle and hide the facts of life and death from their children. Was it child abuse? No. It was sharing a hard fact of life.

To make the assumptions of "parading around" would be inappropriately inaccurate for the sake of drama. How better for a child to understand that there really was a brother or sister inside their mother that died than seeing it before it is to be buried? How is that disrespectful of life? Have you never been to a funeral with an open casket? Have you never held the hand of a family member while they died?
