Things unite with similar things. No longer a certificate of live birth ... just a way to hypothecate debt. Let the dead join the dead.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Parents of stillborn babies will now be allowed to request a birth certificate under a measure Gov. Terry Branstad has signed into law.
The Senate unanimously approved the measure last week after receiving it from the House which also had passed it unanimously. It makes Iowa the 33rd state to pass such a law.
Women who lobbied for the bill say that many mothers who go through labor, delivery and birth want to have the document that recognizes the birth.
Since 1939 Iowa has issued only a certificate of fetal death for stillborn babies.
Only parents who request a birth certificate will get one. It is retroactive so parents who may have had a stillbirth decades ago can request a birth certificate.
Iowa has about 200 stillborn babies a year.
