Yeah. Already aware of it. It's frigging disgusting. DH was so not impressed when I told him. Another casual way to hurt grieving families.

For us, DS1 is counted but DS2 isn't. Frigging nice. They're both still dead.

All the idiots needed to do was include 2 questions. 1) how many births has a woman had? 2) how many children are alive? It's what they used to ask in the old UK census, back when baby death was more common and not a taboo topic. Don't get me started on the flawed reasoning behind the ABS' logic about this either. Bloody idiots.

Thanks for putting the warning up.
