Anacoenosis Poem by Justin Reamer

Anacoenosis

Rating: 5.0


So, what do you think of this issue, my friend?
Do you think abortion is a good thing to have?
Is it okay to take a child's life
Just because the mother decided to get pregnant
And irresponsibly fornicate,
Or just because she doesn't want to have it
Because she got raped in the first place?
Do we really have a choice to take someone else's right to life?
That baby can live, right?
The mother doesn't have to kill a human being
Just to make things right, right?
Can she not put her child up for adoption
So that a better-suited parent can
Take care of him or her?
What do you think?
I want your opinion,
So that my peers and yours
May know what the matter is about.

A very good question... If we cannot give a life, we cannot kill it too. In fact we have no right to kill..The child can be given for adoption too..yes, if she is raped then the trauma itself will so hurtful that she wont be able to cope up with it..yes there are some mothers, inspite of knowing that her baby is abnormal before birth, still gave birth to baby..either there was choice or no choice. Good write...Well written.
