Let's add to irrationality
To nonsense unbelieved,
And urge, against free human choice,
The rights of the unconceived.
The unborn, however unwanted,
Have protestors who defend,
Who will not take their misery home
But make sure their paths begin.
The maimed, the pained, the hopeless
Have rights of tragedy unrelieved,
Yet we ignore a great moral sore
The plight of the unconceived.
We must have laws with iron braced jaws
To insure new lives are received;
It should be a crime at any time
To deny life to the unconceived
Should fertile lad and fertile lass
Henceforth with any passion pass,
Consummation must be achieved
To insure the rights of the unconceived.
