With the elections coming up I thought that I would post my opinion here and include a poem I wrote about abortion. First though, I just want to say that please read this bearing in mind I don't mean to offend anyone by this post and firmly believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and reasons. Ultimately we are all fighting for the same thing...
I am a republican and so naturally go for John McCain, but this year neither of these presidential candidates have impressed me. The reason McCain is ahead in my books though, is because of his fights against abortion.
ABORTION. This subject is very personal to me. I was adopted the day after I was born. I recently asked my mom if she knew my biological mom's opinion on abortion. I learned that she wasn't too keen on it, but was being pressured a lot and if not for her pastor, who came and reeled her in, anything could have happened.
Tick Tock

Hurry, the more time it takes
the more guilt I will feel.
Hurry, I don't want it any older!
Hurry, I can't bear to see it,
I would never be able to get through this.
Hurry, I feel like a murderer.
You are one and the same...
Slowdown, it doesn't matter if I'm one day old
or one week in the womb,
you will still be killing me.
Slowdown, I want to live.
Slowdown, if you could just see
how much we need each other.
Mother, you are killing me.
You and only you are my murderer.

Wow... that poem was very powerful.
beautiful poem traci!
I absolutely love it.
I think that's the best anti-abortion thing I've ever seen. Its effect is on a deeper and more personal level than the usual arguments. (I'm pro-choice, though I am against abortion. I just believe that it's not my right to take away a woman's choice in this matter.)
I agree with Anilee - this is one of the most powerful anti-abortion arguments I've seen.
Very good poem.
You are amazing Traci, and I love you. Just needed to say that.
wow, go Traci! that was amazing!
Thanks for posting your poem, Traci. Words well spent - so much so, that they weren't just words anymore, if you know what I mean. I'm pretty thankful for that Pastor, too.
Traci that was an amazing poem. I've read it almost five times already! Thank you for writing it.
Miss you.
that is an awesome poem, I love the writing style and the flow of thoughts, but I do not see the relation of the poem with the elections!
