And this is what I find so disgusting about the whole thing: using a stillborn for his own political agenda.
If he had kept it to himself and some reporter would have found out later, he could have said "So what, it's my private matter how I mourn about a loss!"
However the exploitation of this as a propaganda story makes him look nutty and is a disgrace to the dead baby and shows how far he is willing to go for his own political career.
Well, what else can one expect from a guy who is against contraception:"Yeah, let's ban calenders! Away with thermometers!"
