As for “state-sponsored” - once again, in the realm of exceptions for “small government,” I guess.

People need a government document to acknowledge a miscarried baby? Because they can’t design and print one themselves for free? After all, birth certificates are mainly used for ID purposes, so what flipping reason would anyone need one that’s notarized for a dead fetus?

Absolutely. Centuries have gone by with no need for this and suddenly our benevolent state apparatus decides to become “compassionate”? Please.
