The Witnesses

The silent angels watched in bleak dismay,
As the doctor deftly pulled out its head
With forceps, uncaring for scars today;
None would e'er see the remains of the dead.
He split the skull, smirked at the nurse, so fast,
For at least twelve more await the scalpel;
The broken body in toxic trash cast,
And he paused to eat the breakfast apple
His loving wife had so thoughtfully sent.
The angels left, cradling the little soul,
Aghast at what the child had underwent;
Puzzled that God did swift judgment withhold!
Others the empty places soon did fill,
Curious at creatures who'd a baby kill.


One of the major reasons abortionists give to justify legalized abortion is that, they claim, while illegal, 10,000 babies a day were killed in back alleys with the use of coat hangers. It is a ridiculous claim, for the simple reason that the count is unverifiable. The U.S. Center For Disease Control keeps a more accurate count of legal abortions, and there are 4,000 a day, or 1.3 million a year in the United States. The reasons given by mothers-to-be for having the babies aborted are as follows by percentages: Feels unready for the responsibility, 25%; Can't afford to raise a baby, 23%; Doesn't want another baby, 19%; Single mother, 8%; Feels too immature, 7%; Interferes with career, 4%.


These are worries that parents have always felt upon learning of a new pregnancy, yet most parents feel that a new baby is a blessing, a gift from God, and they welcome its birth with loving hearts. The 1 in 5 above that doesn't want another baby should at least have learned to calculate the days in the menstrual cycle and refuse to engage in intercourse during the 12-hour period a month that they are fertile. Skipping sex once a month is far better than murdering your child. The 23% who can't afford a baby should do the same; just have safe sex. Besides, no family ever feels that it is able to afford a new child. Thank God for North Dakota---they only have abortions one day a week, and no N.D. doctor will perform one; he has to be flown in.
