Whose Choice Anyway

Page 73

I am sure my niece won't mind you knowing that her little family is proof that babies should be allowed to live.

When my daughter was fifteen years of age she became pregnant. We went to our GP who convinced me that an abortion would be the best thing for her. I signed those forms and ruined my daughter's life. She had the abortion, I think now, because she thought I wanted her to. She is now in her 20s and leads a selfdestructive life. She does not have any close relationships. She hates small children. She often cries for no reason and her whole character has changed dramatically. I cannot take back what I did, I can only hope that one day she can forgive me.

INFANT CAUSE ... (ABORTION)

Like a poppy in a cornfield you are lonely in a crowd, You can't communicate with those around you. Conversation of the era passes way above your head And a blessed cloak of ignorance surrounds you You are shut away from mortal sight but all the same you're there

Of your aged counterpart you are the other. And you do not have the power to defend your infant cause, For you're locked inside the dark womb of your mother.
