Quote:
You'll never know the color of her eyes, the texture of her hair, or her favorite ice cream flavor. You'll never feel the pulse in her little hand as you walk her into her first dentist appointment. She'll never get to ask you if her first haircut will hurt. She'll never take her first step towards you. She won't beg you to push her higher on the swing set as her curls bounce in the wind.
You'll never squeeze her close to you when Simba's dad dies, or catch her dancing in front of the mirror before her first co-ed party.
You won't get that nervous chill down your spine as she jabs the keys into the ignition for the first time.
She'll never burst into your room with tears pouring down her face because a boy didn't call her back. You won't wrap your arms around her and tell her that he's not even cute anyway.
You won't wipe tears from your eyes in the front row as her daddy gives her away to this new man.
You'll never blow her kisses as she rides off to the Bahamas for her honeymoon.
You won't come home that night and still hear her laughter echoing in the empty hallway.
She could have mended someone's heart and changed someone's life.
You'll never be able to teach her the importance of inner beauty. You'll never know what she could've achieved and how far she could've gone. You'll never get a chance to impact her life...
Because you took it away from her.
You didn't give her a chance. All it takes is one small voice to change the world. She could have been the one. But the world will never know her, will it? You'll never prevent her from making the same mistake as you did- the mistake of taking a life.
The mistake of a sugar-coated murder.
The mistake of terminating another human being's future simply because, "you weren't yet ready for the responsibility of a baby."
True. she was inside of you at one point- but she didn't belong to you. She wasn't yours to discard like a carton of spoiled milk.
She was a gift sent from above, a gift you didn't even bother to give a chance to. You are the present, she was the future. You terminated a little part of what could have been. Because of you, she will never breathe her first breath, laugh her first laugh, or cry her first cry.
Ever since the beginning of time, man has pondered over the "meaning of life." It is absolutely the most beautiful, sacred, gratifying gift we've ever had the privilege of experiencing. It is also the most underestimated, the most unappreciated.
There is beauty in life. It is a joy that you were given.
The same joy that you snatched away from her the very second your doctor sunk that needle into your guilty flesh. Take a look at these statistics. About 6 million people were killed in the Jewish Holocaust.
Ever since it was legalized in 1973, over 45 million abortions had been performed in the United States. What are generation is doing is taking part in a silent, much deadlier holocaust-a horrifying event equivalent to nothing else. Four thousand lives are terminated every single day. Which is worse... you do the math. If this issue is all about choice, then why not give the child the choice to live?
How tall does a tree grow? If you cut it down, you'll never know. You'll never know the kind of girl she could have grown up to be.

So how was that?
