A young mother who delivered her stillborn son at just 14 weeks pregnant last month has received extreme backlash and hateful comments in response to photos she posted of her “perfectly formed” son.
As Faithit previously reported, Felicia Cash was at home on July 24 when she experienced pain and bleeding.

He is a beautiful child, formed by God, and now gone to be with Him.”
Felicia shared some raw, intimate photos of her son, with a plea for those who justify or rationalize abortion:

A plethora of grieving mothers have connected with Felicia’s heartache, and related to her in their grief. While others have had less-than-kind things to say to the mother about the appearance and life of her son.
“Some of the comments have been very distressing,” Felicia admitted in an interview with CBN:
