The Loss of a Life - Part One, Abortion

A life lost
Thrown away due to a selfish desire
It’s not fair - 
Encouraging the preventable
Relishing in the avoidable
Willingly participating in the avertable
There’s always a choice
A choice to save a life
Why take away that right from another?
What can you gain?
Why take away the opportunity for future generations?
Although there may be a circumstance
Where it is the only option 
A health circumstance - 
Not an "I'm scared"
"I'm not ready"
"I don't want this" circumstance
 Is the feeling really worth it?
The feeling of knowing the deed has been done?
The overwhelming feeling of guilt?
No one should have to suffer that.
No one.
