I totally concur. We're out of touch with our inner-selves. Killing is killing, even if the convicted person his covered by a few millimetres of skin.

I was once told by my mother to kill a batch of unwanted puppies. I felt bad about it, but now know that the streets of our cities are overrun with stray dogs.

All life is precious. But there are checks and balances in nature that will happen, especially if we allow our population to continue to grow until we obliterate life that sustains us through our ignorance and precious humanity. We've always been killers, foisting our religion and our ideology as we go off to war and kill a lot of civilians � simply collateral damage.

Yesterday I rode on Metrolift with Bobby, a teenager with cerebral palsy who was alone in his wheelchair, kicking his shoes off in spasms and drooling. He was delivered to a private school and pushed inside by an attendant. From the difficulties that I have sometimes, I can't imagine what his life must be like. But I'm sure his parents were well-meaning when they allowed him to be born. Now, they are struggling to try to meet their son's growing needs as he grows older.

I truly believe that no one has the right to kill a baby. If you do not want one have the baby and let some parents that would love to have a baby take yours and give it the love they deserve

John,

This poem reminded me of a song by Ray Boltz. Its called "What Was I Suppose to Be." If you hadn't heard it I listened to it on You Tube. It speaks volumes and so does your poem.

Love and blessings,
Linda

I certainly agree that life is precious--both the unborn and the born. But cowards come in many disguises. Those who preach and preach about the unborn, and then show only contempt for the poor, the downtrodden, and the impoverished are the worst cowards of all. I am not referring to you, but to those cowards in Congress and those who support them. End of sermon.

This poem is not about irresponsible moms or dads. It's about killing kids before they have a chance to breathe. I was one of those dads and I married my wife who was contemplating getting an abortion because her of her parents. I have never regretted having a family earlier than I wanted to. It's not just about a girl who gets pregnant because it takes two! Deadbeat dads are cowards. They need to keep there rocket in their pocket and be responsible!
So who suffers? We just kill a kid and forget our morals. Now that's the truth. Any comments???

I know of a few women who had abortions for various reasons.
I could never judge them...I know they have to live with their
decisions, I don't know what was going on in there lives and
remember, John we are not here to judge...God is the judge!

Always,
Deborah

I agree that abortion has grown so big in America. It has also been taken over by sadistic, evil people. On the other hand I have to stand with a woman who has an unwanted child in her that the choice should be hers. It is the evil people in tha abortion programs that we should focus our ire on.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT, JOHN! WHERE IS OUR HEART? UNTIL WE ALLOW JESUS TO RULE IT, IT IS BEING CONTROLLED BY SATAN. BUT THANK GOD THAT JESUS, THE FATHER, WRAPPED HIMSELF IN FLESH JUST FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF 'FORGIVING US' FOR ALL OUR SINS. THUS, WE ARE ALREADY FORGIVEN, BUT WE JUST NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE SINNERS AND 'NEED' FORGIVENESS. IN THE BEGINNING, THE EAR/EYE(THE HEART)IS DEAF/BLIND TO THE VOICE/PRESENCE OF GOD(THE CONSCIENCE). THIS IS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL BORN INTO SIN AND WE FOLLOW AFTER SINFUL WAYS. THUS, OUT OF ALL UN-REGENERATED HEARTS AND MINDS FLOW EVIL THINGS. IT IS ONLY WHEN WE TURN TO ALMIGHTY GOD WITH TRUE REPENTANCE AND THE STRENGTHENING PRESENCE OF GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT FILLS US THAT WE ARE ENLIGHTENED AND ARE EMPOWERED TO LIVE FOR HIM, THUS THE 'OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY AND ALL THINGS BECOME NEW'. WE ARE NO LONGER(BLIND/DEAF)WE CAN HEAR/SEE GOD, AND OUR HEARTS ARE NO LONGER MADE OF STONE BUT 'SOFTENED' BY THE LOVE OF JESUS. YOUR QUESTIONED IS A PROFOUND ONE, JOHN, ONE THAT EVERY PERSON SHOULD ASK THEMSELVES. WHERE IS OUR HEARTS?! VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING WORK. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS.
