Choice of Life

17 March 2006


So clearly in my dreams
was the world of love
An amour to prosper
but would it ever touch
of this heart empty to pain

A body tender to misgiving
not to stand - but wither
Was life about death
a lonely existence to wake

Sleep - this realism of escape
curled up in a ball of fetus born
Neither an embryo nor child
such birth abortive to mankind

Free to live - Pro life over choice
God made - God take - God forsake
So clearly a vision to move
who said life was kind to proclaim


Pro-choice is a common self-description used by people who believe that women have the
legal right to have an abortion, or that women have the right to make decisions concerning
their bodies. The opposing term being pro-life.

Opponents of the pro-choice view sometimes refer to people who are pro-choice with what
can be considered pejorative terms such as “anti-life” or “pro-abortion”. A statement far
from the truth, as being an incorrect interpretation, as to many of those who understand
pro-choice (freedom of choice and the right for woman to make a decision they may not
want to make or intend or hope to make).
