Bushing my principles.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.--Parents of stillborn children will be able to get a certificate of the child's birth under a bill Gov. Jeb Bush signed Friday.Florida is now the 14th state to offer certificates of stillbirths to mothers who carry their children at least 20 weeks and deliver them.

The bill was pushed in the Legislature by Daryl and Beth Logullo of Vero Beach, whose child Katherine was stillborn last year. The measure is named ``Katherine's Law.''The Logullos and other backers of the bill said it's not fair for the parents of stillborn children to only get a death certificate with no official acknowledgment to memorialize that the baby was born.``We're just very excited that the state is recognizing our children by issuing birth certificates to them that were born still. It's a wonderful day,'' Daryl Logullo said. ``Any woman in the state of Florida going back to the 1930s that has ever had a still born child can get what they deserve and that's their child's birth certificate.''

I certainly wouldn't say that I am overall a supporter of the Bush family dynasty. Not a fan. I am liberal in many ways. But, there is a certain element of respect for life in the more conservative factions that I greatly appreciate and agree with. I never thought I would say this, but thank you, Jeb Bush.
