It occurs to me that babies are rarely if ever mentioned in all the partisan pushing and shoving going on over the traumatic and emotional issue of abortion. For example, I reviewed the recent abortion law passed in Texas, and found no reference to babies throughout that entire Senate Bill 8.
But the little angels should be given a voice. Listen … listen in the silence, and you’ll hear their tiny voices:
I want to be born.
I want to be a baby
for my mommy.
I pray she will want me,
but if not, give me
to someone who does.
I want to be held,
and rocked,
and fed,
danced with,
and sung to.
But most of all,
I just want to be loved.
Please … please …
Don’t let me
be torn out
and thrown away.
I’m just a baby angel
who wants
a mommy to love.
Just listen … hear them.
