Johnathon was born at 18 weeks into my pregnancy and there for was not allowed to have a birth or death certificate and I don't think this is fair, Even though he was born under 24 weeks gestation he should be allowed a death certificate at the very least..........Johnathon was very much fully developed just really small...He had a heart lungs kidneys liver everything that makes a baby a baby...My goal is to make it pass here as well as to get a law passed that a baby born at 18 weeks regardless if passed before the 18 weeks gestational age is still called a Stillbirth only if the parent gives birth to the child...This is called Johnathon's Bill...

The momentum generated by this petition has prompted a response from the state legislative office. I am currently coordinating a meeting with their policy team to present the case for Johnathon's Bill. Preparation for the formal proposal is underway.

The petition reached 100 signatures this morning. I am now compiling the documentation required for a formal meeting with my legislative representative to discuss the language of the bill.

So heartbreaking. My sister went through this and the lack of paperwork made it so much worse for her grieving process. Justice for Johnathon
