A Violation of Human Life - For Contest

A child is conceived in the womb of its mother, where it will be nourished, where it will grow; a place of warmth and safety. Life begins at conception. But not all babies are wanted and they cry from the womb: "I am alive! I want to live! Please, let me live!" But their cry is not heard, their pleas ignored. They are murdered in the womb, a place of warmth and safety.' 8/20/15 For Olive Eloisa Guillermo's "Knock Us Down With Your Lines" contest on human rights violations.

Words are sometimes few and far between when our feelings need expressing. Good job of relaying your feelings so others may see what makes you tick. Emile.

Reminds me of Horton Hears a Who...to the masses, a speck is a speck, to which Horton replies, A life is a life, no matter how small. Beautiful theme, and a much kinder approach to the topic than I probably would have mustered. =)

Very honest write of an issue that is sometimes ignored and of the innocents are easily removed and forgotten. All the best in the contest Kim
