47 Million
by Mary Ellen Smith
47 million abortions in the U.S.
Since it became legal, a staggering number.
Baby smiles
Baby steps
Baby hugs
Baby talk
Little hearts of love.
Trusting eyes
Lost. All lost.
47 million.
Lost.
Their creativity.
Lost.
Their contribution
Lost.
Remember how upset we were after 911?
Two thousand souls lost to terror.
Think about it
.47 million babies killed.
There is terror in the wombs of women.
And not by some foreign enemy.
There are those who stand and defend the right.
The right to an abortion.
They stand there fighting for the right
To kill babies.
Very eloquently
Passionately
They give their speeches.
Why are we so willing for the sake of choice
To sacrifice our young?
It is a bloody sacrifice
A selfish act called choice.
I wonder
.what would the baby choose if given a voice?
