The Right To Live

Nobody here is God. However, we are to do good, not evil.
We save lives of animals, even the boll weevil!

Oh, how we weep over dead elephants!
But to save a baby from death, we say, I can’t !

Putin is a killer, what about you?
Afraid to be pro-life, what might others think of you?

One must fit in and say not a word?
Because the screams of a newborn will not be heard?

Murder is paid for in the USA.
Saddest of all, it need not be this way.

Hitler’s ideas are from Margaret Sanger.
Millions of Jews and now babies dead, from fear or anger.

And we think we are so innocent?
Watching from poetry texts?

Who are we, and what have we become?
When the value of an innocent human life we shun?

Catholics at Mass, on Mother’s Day, will be attacked.?
While free speech, is now in a DHS sack!

Americans who love God, have courage and speak up!
Stop fearing no popularity from the poetry cup.

God help us to be totally courageous!
Not supporting human life is so disingenuous.

Attacking churches is insane! They murder priests in France for the past few years. Yet there is no outrage. Respect life.

Heya Pangie, Why is it disingenuous to support a (woman’s right to choose) it doesn’t mean advocating abortion, no more than people who support the second, are advocating murder, or are we all just passive killers at heart, cheers David

Hi David. Not apologetic for being pro life. The killer in Texas was an abortionist of kids. He took their lives. Infections are common with abortions. So are suicides..and life long guilt. A baby is not an abcessed tooth!

We also have laws here Pangie, in an overwhelming R/C country, yet women and men voted in a referendum a few year back, to let women choose for themselves, mainly to prevent botched DIY jobs, and carrying the seed of rapists, I am not an atheist just agnostic, I mean what about the Ukrainian girls who are being gang raped by Russian troops, should they carry a baby to term, in besieged cities and towns with no morning after pills, would you label them baby killers for self aborting what they see as an abomination!

For one, women are not told they can die during a legal abortion. For another, if a woman has several abortions, she can become permanently, infertile. And they are not told, they can become infected during a legal operation. Lastly, murder os not pro choice. Perhaps to atheists? States here will still have abortions. On a personal note, David, this affects mem, too, I have seen men weep, years after their spouse or girlfriend had aborted a baby, There us the morning after pill, a woman can have her tubes tide. Choice is murder. I can’t kill you or a baby, thanks. We have laws here. Roe was a flewed decision. We are a land of laws.
