A Nurses' View

Abortion stills a beating heart, Stops it before it can really start- Stops that baby from seeing the Earth Because it keeps it from a normal birth. Doctors deal with death every day, Sometimes, their decisions they fail to weigh For they think not of these babies' souls- Or what they're doing as they play their roles. I was a nurse on the maternity ward Before nurses came together to form a board Who would figure out our place as members Of the healthcare team so doctors had to remember. They couldn't make us take part in abortion- To me, it wasn't open to discussion- I was pro-life from then until now, Because to kill Anything goes against my vow. Sorry pro-choicers, if this hurts your pride-- Think what you like but I won't lie- To abort a baby, I think is wrong, Let the baby live--and will hear the angels' songs.
