Sympathy for children in the womb is warranted. Unlike all of us who have been born, they have not faced challenges they failed. They are blameless.
They have never had to choose whether to run from those who would hurt them or submit and hope for the lesser of two evils.
They have never had to choose which child gets food today.
They have never been picked on for being different.
They have never had to find a job and a place to live with a felony on their record.
They have never had to get an education in a school that is underfunded.
They have never had to live in foster care, waiting for someone to step up and love them.
They have never run for their lives from mercenaries in a hostile country.
They have never suffered from a preventable disease.
They have never struggled to walk, talk, or achieve like others their age.
They have never been captured and sold as a slave.
They have never suffered from Alzheimer’s.
Why do we fight so hard to protect the unborn,
and then forget them once they are born?
