Repulsion

Abortion to me is a disgrace, there is nothing more apprehensive than a mother taking the life of her unborn child.

Repulsion

Blood pools amongst the otherwise stark white sheets,
as a mother severs the ties of the life that grows within her,
Luminescent lights like that of a interrogation room,
where man plays as God and the judge of an unborn child.

A room with whirring machines and beeping monitors,
A mask covers the devil's face and its smirking mouth,
Scalpels, vacuums, and various other tools to exterminate,
and the mother willingly consents, telling herself, "It's just another mistake."

Where has our value for life gone and the humanity we were created with?
This is disgusting, repulsive, and apprehensive and just simply put; a disgrace.
Abortion. I despise the word,
This is what our world has come to, and I feel its too late for a cure.

Abortion is a monstrous thing we created I hate it a soul should have a life

Depends on the circumstances Niyia. I like the poem although I don't agree entirely

Well you have your opinion just as I have mine, but there is no acceptable excuse to have an abortion. Even when a girl has been raped, I do understand the controversy on that topic, but if it had been you; the child of a rape victim, you're telling me you would want to be ripped to pieces and maimed for something that you had no idea of? The least a mother could do is give the child up for adoption. You're telling me they can't even do that much? I see them as murders. And that's my say on the matter.

I understand you point but I see it as this. If you get rapped at twelve your parents don't believe you because it's a family member and think the worst of you the family member doesn't give a damn you don't know anything there is no-one to help you and you realize that if you were to carry this child there is two horrible possibilities 1 he or she will come out "mutant" or "retarded" because it came from the same blood line as you. 2 every time you see or think about the person inside you,you will be reminded of the hate and pain your family member has brought upon yourself. I can't imaging going through all of this giving birth at 13 and then to give it away if a family or orphanage wants this most likely mutant or retarded child who will grow up knowing he was a accident and know one wanted him, which will probable result in a lot of issues in not only his or her childhood but as well as his or hers adulthood. But this is just my opinion.

be as it may, my opinion still stands. Sorry if this poem offended you, that was not my intention, but as I said before, there is no excuse for murder.

We aren't taught anymore at least the culture we live in here doesn't seem to value life. We aren't encourage to see an unborn child as a child. It is a "pregnancy" a thing...with no identity. And so decisions are made - but some women - some are haunted later by making a choice they didn't fully understand. The child, if you believe in God - is with God. but the mother is left to figure out how to deal with a loss that never abates. I know there are women who have abortions and never look back, but there are others who are broken by it.
Deep subject matter here. Well penned.

I agree to, it is wrong to create and destroy life, the choice is not ours, a well written and strong poem bravo :)

[Eddie Davis]

I agree 100% with you, it is nothing less than murder. Well done poem.
