Too Weak To Cry

Unwanted, forced from my mother's womb; cold, this table where I am lying. Just one of the aborted millions . . . does no one care that I am dying? People wait for my breathing to cease, callously turning to walk away; those who should be giving loving care are extending blood stained hands for pay. Copyright, August 24, 2015 Faye Lanham Gibson

*** Moving are the lines. Great emotional appeal that carried me through and how cruel is the first two lines in the second stanza... I am nurse although some countries already permits therapeutic abortion still... you bring here an ethically controversial issue, though I've also read that the medical practitioners have a right to refuse to be involve in these procedures... CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for participating!!! =`)~Olive ELoisa
