I'm a Baby Human by Kevin M. Nelson 07/24/2011
I’m a baby human. I was born today.
I didn’t look this way overnight.
Like You, I started very small, and went through many changes over the past few months.
I hear I will go through new changes when I become a teenager.
I hear I will go through even more changes later in life.
I guess physical changes are just part of Life.
I didn’t just become “alive” today. I have been actively growing for 9 months.
I didn’t just become “human” today. I have always been a human.
Three months ago, some said it was OK for me to be torn apart and killed.
I was no less alive 90 days ago.
Six months ago, some may have considered burning me with saline.
I was no less human 180 days ago.
The President once supported allowing babies like me to die……. Today.
Did you know that 8 months ago I already had my own circulatory system and a detectable heart beat?
Some of those politician people think that as soon as I feel pain I should be protected.
Look at my face and tell me I deserved to die a week before that.
Can you look at my face and tell whether my Mom was raped?
Would I really be any less human because an adult did a bad thing?
Can you look at my face and tell whether my Mom planned to have a baby?
Would I really be any less alive if I was made in the heat of the moment?
I’m not being judgmental. This is my Life we’re talking about.
Please stop referring to me in terms of convenience or circumstance.
Who are you to tell my mother she has the “right” to kill me? Easy for you to say. It’s not Your life on the line.
Not once have I been ANY different than YOU were at one point in your life. Not today. Not nine months ago. Read my little newborn lips “No one should have ever been given the “choice” to take my life”
