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?

I like the way you compare the victims of abortion to those of 9-11. I know easier said than done for some, but contraception...contraception...contraception.
