No King Solomon, I

A woman's right to her body
  A baby's right to life
Over this conflict of interests
  America's witnessed much strife

I'm only a poet; no King Solomon, I
  Can't say that I have a solution ~
Just hope that a good one is found soon
  So there's no need for revolution

Hmmmm it's a no brainer for me. Ask any woman who has ever lost a baby. You cannot tell me it's okay to kill a new born or even a baby still in the womb. That is the LIFE of another human being. If a woman get pregnant and doesn't WANT that baby then carry it to term and GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO DOES. DON'T KILL IT. A fine write my friend. God Bless, JB

I too wish a revolution could be avoided.

Solution is simple: like God, allow people to make their own mistakes so they learn from the experience . . . . .

Ooh. You have a point there, you know. God does let us make our mistakes, and they sure can be costly. Good for you. You're a braver man than I! Nice advice, Solomon... I mean, Rico. :) gw

Me too...is there one? We might find it spiritually, though not religiously or politically. We have to learn to let go of our own feelings and listen to others first.
