I Wish I Had The Answer

by Elijah - Not entered

I wish I had the answer!
To this issue of the day.
Is the couple fully responsible?
Or does the foetus have a say?

Some say the consenting adults,
should have taken some precaution.
Thus eliminating any need,
to broach the topic of abortion.

Other's seem to think,
that the adult being more mature.
Instead of seeking to fulfil the present,
should have given more thought to the future.

There are groups within society.
Namely the Christian ones.
Who strongly believe that killing a foetus.
Is spiritually and morally wrong.

Some admit it tears the heart.
That any young creature should die.
What makes it worse they say.
Is thier chance at life is denied.

There are so many points of issue.
There are so many areas of doubt.
And it's something that touches us all.
Gives us something to think about.

No one is pure enough,
to judge anothers life.
For what may seem wrong to you.
Maybe to others it is right.

So people the choice is yours.
Whatever path you take.
If you are careful and give it thought.
It'll be a decision you won't have to make.

Reason for writing:

    Just my opinion only.
