Poem Title:
Poem
nervous system originates in the brain. Nerves send and receive signals to feel pleasure, fear or pain. A baby’s diaper rash causes crying, pain and suffering, Her torment needs attention , care and buffering, She is so sensitive to pain, as were you and I , The slightest discomfort caused us to cry. But because this is pain we can not now recall, It does not mean we didn’t experience it all, The nervous system is developed in Mom’s womb long before birth, Of course, most people know this fact, for what it’s worth, Why else does the babe instinctively move away, When the medical probe is maneuvered her way? She does not know the terms “women’s rights“, “choice” and “abortion”, As she is killed, screaming in a fear and pain filled contortion, But that baby’s pain simply doesn’t matter in this world of darkened lights, She missed the boat when the flag unfurled for choice and women’s rights. Dear child, you are just not old enough to be without pain and fear, You see, we have too many excuses times one million a year. May God buffer your pain my little friends when your shortened time is through, And forgive your Moms and Dads for we may or may not know what we do. And ask God to have mercy on us self blinded pretend Christians too, As we vote for politicians who promote killing your siblings and you. Dedicated to Chantel This is a repost of the poem written 5/01/2010 in answer to a charge that babies don't feel pain anyway so it's okay to abort them. The news today 4/17/2012 (AP news) reports that the fetal pain abortion law which recently came about in three states because of the scientific proof that unborn babies do feel pain is now under attack because people want to kill the little ones anyway in spite of their proven torture. Perhaps some day our society will become civilized and history will reveal these acts for the barbarianism that it indeed is. Until then let's keep praying for our youngest most vulnerable minority friends. -Robert A. Dufresne
