It is so hard to understand
when a mother is not a mother.
How could a mother do that?
I ask that question over and over
but with no logical answer except
pure selfishness and disregard
for the baby growing inside her.
I cried when I saw the picture
of a baby in the womb grasping
the finger of a surgeon who was
helping the baby to survive by
operating the spina bifida baby
to live like us and grow old like us.
How can a mother ask a surgeon?
to kill her own baby instead of
protecting it from any harm?
How could a surgeon take life
Instead of saving a human life?
No one has a justification that is
just and fair to the little baby,
growing inside mother and at
the mercy of the mother who might
kill the baby instead of caring.
It is all so wrong and so sad.
Something needs to be done here
to protect the unborn babies and
let them live as our Lord intended.
