The Unwanted

There are so many people defending the "right" to abortion in the world. There are so many "unwanted" babies that that heaven must be full to bursting with them by now. I can't fathom how we got to this point. Now it's perfectly acceptable that babies are murdered right up to full term, as they're being born, or left to die afterwards. Unwanted....what happens when you're unwanted someday?

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Neat, thought-provoking story.
