What the petition asks
All babies born regardless of pregnancy gestation should be given a birth and death certificate regardless if they have take a breath or not outside the womb.
They look like a baby and have all organs like a baby as soon aa that unborn baby has a heart beat from 8 weeks pregnancy it becomes a living human. Give moms and dads that official form to state that child was here and sadly gone but not forgotten and remains in the system as stillborn.
