A Billion Baby Shrieks

11/27/2023

Think of mothers who express the idea of "personal rights" by having dragged piecemeal from their wombs the child they have conceived.
Koop & Schaeffer, Whatever Happened to the Human Race? in vol. 5 The Complete Works of Francis A. Schaeffer. p. 319

We hear their screams, a billion baby shrieks--
Much sharper than the scalpel and syringe
That tore them limb from limb--in unison
Against dismembered dreams to be a son
Or daughter, not a death-cult casualty:
"O Mommy, why hast thou forsaken me?"
