Partial Birth Abortion

From silence to chaos I'm being tossed in the womb
My mother's heart is beating faster and so is mine
I hear voices outside and begin to be pushed
It's not quite nine months but maybe it's time

I lean forward, head first, I'm ready to go
The movement is real, I'll head for the light
Before it begins I feel something turn me around
It grabs at my feet, something's not right

My head is spinning and the voices are dim
I want to stay before comfort is out of reach
This is all wrong, I shouldn't be backward
This isn't routine, I wasn't meant to be breech

I feel the cold air on my skin and I move
Strong hands grib my legs, feet, and belly
I begin to get squeezed with my head still inside
And I feel a cold touch of gelly

Suddenly a sharp pain shoots the back of my head
I scream but no one can hear me
I don't know what's happening but the pain is too much
I thought I'd be safe, how can this be?

I hear a loud suction before my senses give 'way
My body's convulsing at quarter to seven
The noises grow faint and the agony subsides
I kick one last time before God brings me to Heaven.


For anyone who may not know, partial birth abortions are happening and they are vicious murders. Babies, up to one day before their due date, are being killed across the country. The process is gross and although it hurts my heart to hear it, think about, speak it... everyone should understand so that maybe there can be an end to the murder.

During partial birth abortions, doctors pull the babies by their feet down the birth canal. Since 80% of the babies are normal and functioning correctly, doctors must breech so that the babies don't cry. Doctors deliver the baby almost all the way, leaving only the head inside the mother.

A scissors is then jammed into the back of the partially born baby's skull, puncturing it. A tube is inserted into the hole, and the brains of the baby are sucked out, thus killing the child. After the baby's head is deflated, it is pulled out and disposed of.

When I first read about this horrifying proceedure, I cried. My stomach turned and I was upset for a long time after. I'm still upset now. It's horrible what they are doing. Since when is murder allowed in this country? I'm outraged that there are people who believe is such acts of cruelty and murder... but I'm more outraged that there aren't more people speaking up.

I'm prolife. Plain and simple. There are no "ifs, ands, or butts" about the subject. Abortion is murder. I don't care what anyone says, there is no excuse for murdering a child. And yes, it is a child from the first second of conception.

There is the argument that it's not a real child while it's a fetus... that's up for others to discuss. But honestly, in the third term, at the time that partial birth abortions take place, the baby looks like a baby. There is not mistaking that the child is a true living, breathing person. If delivered fully, the baby would be a fully functioning premature child. How can anyone get away with killing a child that is in the process of being born? Can someone explain the logic behind it? I can't wrap my mind around the idea. You are killing a child that is being born... I DON'T GET IT!

This past Thursday in Madison, prolife activists were protesting to try and convince lawmakers at the state level to re-instate the ban on partial birth abortions. Hopefully the state can put 2 and 2 together and realize that murder is wrong and judge on the side of life, but in our morally distraught world, who knows what will happen.

I get heated on this subject, obviously, and for good reason. Abortion is murder no matter which way you look at it. But for those who are not solidly convinced, I'll leave with some great words from a great man:



"I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born"

"Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution"

"We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life — the unborn — without diminishing the value of all human life."

"Regrettably, we live at a time when some persons do not value all human life. They want to pick and choose which individuals have value."

"We must all educate ourselves to the reality of the horrors taking place. Doctors today know that unborn children can feel a touch within the womb and that they respond to pain."

"We cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning. "
