Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of babies in utero at 12 weeks A fetus at 12 weeks. This baby could be aborted. 

Homicide






Verbicide is sometimes committed in my works

Those works could be perdures forever
                          
                          Aborted babs
                           
                              Untimely deaths

Homicide with our tax dollars is that righteous

A child that never gets a chance at life

I am not a savant but this is wrong

Will we as a nation get our comeuppance
        
        What? eternal life~ heaven?
       
          What? eternal life~hell?

I hope heaven

I hope not hell

Always an explosive topic, abortion... I remember when the argument for abortion was that otherwise women (and girls) would be aborted with a coat-hanger in a back-alley somewhere. Now, it's a 'woman's right to her body.' What will it be next? ... On a related note: Why do we have 'hate crimes' when murder is involved? Murder is still murder by any other name. Just as it is here. As Kim wrote, the piper will be paid -- if it's not already being paid. Thanks for reading, Gershon

Gershon, I know that abortion is not a good thing anyway a person looks at it. Once going to an abortionist was dangerous or deadly or the woman/girl still be pregnant with complications now it is safer but still is murder. I think women centers need to exist but without the abortions paid for by tax dollars. I think there should be counseling for women/ girls on all aspects of their bodies so they can be informed and maybe not make wrong choices. I think the day after pill is a good thing for circumstances of chance like rape. Sara

I can never accept abortion, because on conception life begins. There are groups that help.

Victor, Yes, there are groups that will help a woman get through a pregnancy and help her keep the child or get it adopted to a loving couple. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Hi Sara, I do believe that life starts at conception. I know people who get abortions and live in regret. But my only issue is, a woman feeling like she has no options and try to matters in her own hands. Adoption is the best solution to abortion. Thanks for shedding light on such a sensitive issue- Alexis

Will this stir many hearts? Crazy that the living wish others dead? They themselves being held comfortably within a mother who did not deport them to the grave. Not even the grave! No stone! You say a lot here, bravely, steadfastly! A fave for me as is life! God bless you always!

Kim, I being a woman and human can understand a woman finding herself in an unplanned pregnancy but two wrongs don't make a right. A person should give the baby a chance at life. I know God has them all in safe keeping. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Yes, Kim, those who have the knowledge of Jesus and thump their noses at Him will pay if they don't repent. Sara

Ooh, Sara! Love your comment! Unless people repent, there will be a comeuppance and nations are looked upon by God, especially those who were a shining beacon on the hill!

Tom, The Bible says it is murder and that a man should pay the father of the child a certain amount of money. Would those doctors continue doing what they are doing if they had to pay for those deaths with their money? Thanks for the visit. Sara
