Try This On For Size

Their raising that black flag as everyone looks in horror 
As the Iraqi defenses sag they burst on through the door
And the ghastly sights we see and how shocked we are
Saying this shouldn't be, no one should ever go that far

Sometimes 25 are killed in a day as America cringes
And the words people say for their own heart it singes
Then they vote pro-choice and they don't even realize
The silencing of any voice is the same where satan lies  

But America kills far more as to God they also overruled
If it's killing the unborn you're for, you have been fooled
The Creator has no distinction each Created in His Name
However in what you have done carries a lot more shame

Ironic in the land of the free 3,000 unborn a day are slain
Over there what you see is the same as what you engrain
But we dispose of our dead, a slurry of 3,000 unborn a day
So whatever you have said, of yourself you must also say
