Reading the pregnancy complications chapter of my text. I have just learned that I may need to "baptize" aborted foetuses (pregnancies that end prior to 20 weeks) if Roman Catholic parents request it. How does one baptize a clump of aborted flesh you might ask?
Well, according to the text, "You can perform this by making the sign of the cross and stating, "I baptize you in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Amen.""
I hope I will never need to do such a thing. It feels wrong to do so and ever so hypocritical since it is not my belief system.
