It's no big deal,
everyone knows
it's part of growing up,
your maturity shows.
Now everyone is wrong
and you feel it inside,
the baby is growing
and you regret your ride.
What do you do?
cast this miracle aside?
Are you a monster,
in hell do you abide?
This beautiful thing,
a baby is in you
and it is alive.
What will you do?
How can you think
there's a choice to make?
is murder an option,
is that the path you will take?

mmmmm... you're a conservative. I can't say that I agree with this entirely. Parts of it I do. But some people don't have a choice. Most Women that do have an abortion mourn the loss of the baby. But it is their life and they can choose what to do with it. -

yes, I am a conservative. To tell the truth, although I would rather not make people mad, I must in this case. The choice is not to have a baby or not to have a baby, but to kill an innocent child or to let it live. In truth, conservative doesn't fully apply to me, I only think logically. The problem I have with abortion is that an innocent baby is killed. Not only that, but allowing a TEENAGER to have an abortion is the most stupid idea ever, as far as politics are involved. I live in California, the most liberal state on the face of this earth, so I know a bit about what liberal is. The state of California has laws against teenagers having sex, rather it has laws against teenage males having sex. If a 14 year old male has sex with a 14 year old female and her parents choose to press charges, he goes to jail and for the rest of his life is marked as a sex offender and is shown to have had sex with a 14 year old, but not that he was the same age. This is applicable as long as the female is under the age of 16. The reason liberals give for this is that it is the male's choice and without him, the act cannot be commited. On the other hand, the female faces no consequences because if she gets pregnant, she can have an abortion. Due to this, a girl is more likely to try to have sex with a male she likes which puts more pressure on him to break the law. The really twisted part of this is if a female wants to have sex with a male, and he says no, she can say he had sex with her and he is highly likely to go to jail because the courts will not let him take a lie detector or really prove his innocence in the matter in any other form. It is also a proven fact that a large number of women who have an abortion in their teens or early twenties are plagued by depression in their mid- to late-thirties because they feel they are unworthy to ever have children and regret the abortion. Also, many of the above mentioned women commit suicide. If having an abortion is likely to cause such problems, why is it allowed so freely? The only time I feel abortion is even close to acceptable is in the case of a minor who has been raped.

Very good! I am being pretty strict on the terms of this contest, so, please go and try to add more imagery. I want to see what you are saying and feel what you feel. Descriptive words are very useful. Good luck in this contest

It amaze me.
It amazes me that when abortion is performed on a healthy baby, that people think it is okay but protest to the hilt if a condemned mass murderor is executed.
