This is regarding “Fetus crime bill sent to Bush; Foes: It threatens abortion rights” (Page 1, March 26). Congress has endowed fetuses with new federal rights.
As a concerned citizen and father, I have got a few bureaucratic questions.
Could a death certificate be issued before the birth certificate? Should we apply for a new Social Security card once my wife is pregnant? Can I take a tax exemption for each fetus? Will my insurance company offer life insurance for the fetus? Shall the fetus be counted on the federal census?
My wife and I have endured multiple miscarriages, so God has taught us not to count our eggs before they hatch, so to speak. But we apparently have a lot to learn from the feds.
