A VICTIMS STORY

line
Safe within her chamber, she slept in peace;
Free from fear of danger, she knew sweet rest.
Soon would come the moment of her release,
The gift of freedom to pursue her quest.
She would seek to fulfill her destiny.
The guard of her chamber should be her guide
And teach her how to live in liberty.
This one she trusted should be on her side.
Then, no! This forced exit could not be right;
The one who grabbed her feet was not her friend.
A stabbing in her neck quenched all the light.
Her trusted chamber guard approved this end.
Such unprotected victims cannot cry.
How long? How many more near-born must die?

(NOTE: On September 26, 1996, the United States Senate
failed to override President Clintons veto of the
of the bill that would have banned partial birth abortions.)
