Extremely moving, it brought tears to my eyes. I've always leaned towards po-choice but this poem broke my heart!

Agatha

This is great! A baby, although unborn, is still a human. Do we have the right to take away what God has blessed us with? How would we like it if we were in that baby's position?

Jen

This poem may be true and moral in some ways but has this author thought about rape. I was raped at 15 and became pregnant. It is not fair to let a kid have a child at 15 years old.

Amy

That was the best well writen poem i have read yet. I do agree with what you are saying and i am very strongly aginst abortions! It is NOT about what a mother has to give her child, but what a child is and it's love.if a woman gets pregnant and decides she dosen't want the child for the reason she has nothing to give she's WRONG! Have people never heard of adoption? that is to me somthing a mother has to give and thats a chance to LIVE!

Candace

I like your poem allot. It really touched me. I agree with you to a certian point. I don't think that you should ever abort a baby if there is ANY way possible that you can support it. I say this because my mom was going to abort me. She already had the papers sighned and everything. But my dad wouldn't let her. She had someone to help raise this baby. And yet, she still wanted to ge rid of me. Trust me I would have rather been aborted though. Like Collette said, It's better to be killed before you are actually born than to live as an unwanted child. I ma 14 years old, and have already moved back and fourth between my mom's house and my dad's house 6 times. So it really hit close to home with me. Keep up the good work.

My friend is going through a rough time with her babys fater and she was concidering an abortion. I am against them all the way. Reading this made tears come to my eyes, I hope after she reads this poem, shell think twice

Ashley

This is really good. I'm doing a speech ina a class about abortion. It help me out alot.

Johanne

This is a good poem, however, I have to agree with Colette that unless you have been in such a situation it is difficult to judge others. The simple fact of a women having an abortion does not mean that she does not love her unborn child. It simply means that - after having taken a step back and looking at her life situation, looking at what she can/has to offer to a child (and love is not enough these days), after crying several nights and beating herself over the head - she makes that heart wrenching decision to terminate the pregnancy. It is not because a pregnancy is terminated that she no longer carries around the pain of that day. She will/does think about it for the rest of her life.

jen

moving poem hun but just realize one day that could be you ALL ALONE and wondering what other choice you have... dont judge someone until you've walked in their shoes.

libby

very sad but good

Colette

No one will ever understand unless you have been there. It is about the choice - not the act. What about all the children that are already here that are not wanted? How many of those have you lifer's taken into your home? Why don't you try to get the adoption laws changed instead of telling women what they should do with their OWN bodies.

Stephen

I really like this poem, it is very well structured. I do not agree with your point of view but nevertheless i can appreciate what you are saying in the poem. Very nicely written.

Beth

Thanks for being one of the disappering minority willing to say theis anymore!

Catherine

This is awesome! I'm an ardent pro-lifist and am sending this poem to all my friends! Great job & keep up the good work!

Matt

Probably the most moving poems I've ever read.

Brian

A simple yet poignant display which touches deep into the depths of one's soul. I wish more people could possess the perception and sensitivity of the writer. Only then, will others come to realise the pain and hurt caused to Life around. Thank You, Angel!!!

Julia

I think that is the sad truth about what goes on in our society today.When I was reading this poem tears started coming down my face. I think that before a women even think about getting an abortion they should read "No Tomorrow". Your poem is hope!

lacysoul

That is a great poem: Heather, if someone doesn't want a child, they shouldn't just wear a condom, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE SEX. It is time for poeple to open up their eyes to the fact that they need to take responsibilty for their actionsinstead of killing an innocent child. IT IS WRONG!

Jennifer

That was a very sad poem.But I think more poeple should read things like that before they take a life of a unborn child away.

Heather

I love this poem and I also think that it is truly unthinkable to have an abortion. its wrong. if you don't want a kid wear a condom!

Terri

It's to bad that people don't read this poem before they actually decide to have an abortion. Great Job

Ivan

I really liked your poem it was very touching. The reason i found it was because i was researching stuff on abortion for a class discusion. this is a poem i would be able to read to them and actually make them think about abortion in a deeper way. Great poem

megan
