Did the Gov just admit that an unborn child is in fact a child?

^^ was my friends facebook status with this article.  I thought of you guys!  How do you feel about this?  I find it really wierd in general.

The White House Visitors Office requires that an unborn child—still residing in utero—must be counted as a full human being when its parents register for a White House tour, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

White House Visitors Office director Ellie Schafer sent an email to a Capitol Hill staffer Tuesday morning explaining the process for registering an unborn fetus for a White House tour:

We have received a number of calls regarding how to enter security information for a baby that has not yet been born.

Crazy as it may sound, you MUST include the baby in the overall count of guests in the tour. It’s an easy process.

LAST NAME: The family’s last name

  • FIRST NAME: “Baby” as a first name
  • MIDDLE NAME: NMN as in No Middle Name
  • DOB: Use the date you are submitting the request to us as their birthday
  • GENDER: if the parents know put that gender down if not, you can enter either M or F as we’ll ask you to update it at the time of birth
  • SOCIAL: As they will not have a SSN and are under 18, you will not need to enter this field.  Again if the spreadsheet asked for a social enter 9 zero’s (not the word nine zeros but 000000000 and yes it happens!)
  • CITIZEN/CITY/STATE: The citizen, city and state should be entered the same as the parents

  • I have been told it is because the waiting list is long and if the baby is born by the visit it has to be registered too. It just looks wired the way they have it... I mean what if you adopt? Or have a miscarriage/still birth... do you have to present a death cert??

  • Now that sounds like an official confirmation that the unborn are indeed and infact citizens and babies/humans. Well well well. lol

  • Ummm... not exactly a source I'd trust there.

    From the White House website:


    White House Tours
    Public tours of the White House are available. Requests must be submitted through one's Member of Congress. These self-guided tours are available from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Fridays, and 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturdays (excluding federal holidays or unless otherwise noted). Tour hours will be extended when possible based on the official White House schedule. Tours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis.

  • And from my congressman's website page to request tours:

    Due to White House security protocol, requests for White House tours should be made at least 2 months in advance of the desired tour date(s).

    Before White House tour requests can be processed, submit the required information on this page and complete this downloadable spread sheet for your tour party. Please supply the information for the members of your party on a single spread sheet and email the completed file to daniel.bucheli1@mail.house.gov

    Visitor access records to the White House complex will be made publicly available 90-100 days after the date of a visit. This policy includes all guests touring the White House

    Please be aware that your full name and the date of your visit will be part of the publicly releases records. Your date of birth, Social Security Number, and all other personal information will not be released
