It's beautiful. I've seen it before, when I first saw it I felt like crying.

I just want to say that, although it's a touching poem, it's slightly inaccurate. There is support to show that a fetus doesn't feel pain until it grows enough nerves to.
You know what I'd like? I'd like a real nice poem, as nice as that one, that doesn't involve God, Jesus etc.

There is support that a fetus does, in fact, feel pain. The pain felt is organic, not emotional. SInce the fetus does not yet have th emental capacity to comprahend what pain is, it lacks the ability to feel emotional pain. But, does that make it any more right?
If I were to take away some ones ability to comprehend pain, and then torture them endlessly, is it acceptable since the person dosn't knwo what's happanening to them? Is it right to stick hot needles through there eyes while they scream, but not understand why they are screaming?

@Lymelady: Ditto that. I was about to cry, just now. And I've seen this message many times before in my inbox.
@Pyro: You're absolutely right. Taking advantage of a child's lack of emotional pain does not justify the organic pain it must endure.

...I just saw that recently... And I completely agree that it is a touching and moving letter, but what makes me angry is that the last place I saw it, the readers were mocking it, saying, "Jesus was aborted?" "lol, that's a rarely mentioned book of the bible in which Jesus' first mother aborted him, but he was resurrected in Mary, lolz!"
It just... Gah! For one thing, it seems obvious to me that he's referring to the Crucifixion; Dying in a painful way simply because someone/a group of people doesn't/don't want you around.
Mako: There is "support" both ways. And it would be difficult to write a poem from the point of view of an aborted child if we are to eliminate religion. If you don't want to eliminate religion completely, please, take the time to copy that into Microsoft Word. Got it? Now go to the top and hit "Edit" then "Replace," and replace "God" with "Allah," and "Jesus" with "Muhammad." Voila! A Muslim fetus' letter to her mother.
If this is not satsifactory, please feel free to choose other deities and/or sub-deities to replace them. Allow me to suggest Zeus and Heracles; Heracles' death having been due to Hera's near reasonless hatred of him.
Christianity is the most widely accepted Religion in the world, altogether. I don't know why you people get up in arms because a poem is written from the Christian viewpoint.

Didn't Jesus say that whole, Whatever you do unto the least of these people you do unto me? My religion says that whatever the hell happens to anyone, Jesus goes through it too. I'd never use this as justification for why anyone but myself should be pro-life, but that's basically taking the author's beliefs and bashing them. Don't claim to be open-minded if you're going to trash someone's art because you don't share the artists beliefs.

Oh my gosh... I couldn't finish it because I started crying... how beautiful.
I think people who would be turned off by such a poem have lost their ability to empathize with other human beings.

i dislike it, honestly, becuase it's too simple-minded and uses relatively few, if any poetic devices... i really dislike that about media today... how the songs are about trivial things, and even then they aren't even covered with pretty words, they'r just... talked about. listen to almost any pop song on the radio and listen for metaphor. most of it today is along the lines of "i want to rub my (insert external organ here) on your (insert external organ here), and i wanna kiss you, cuz you're pretty! wooo!" that sort of mindless bullshit makes me angry, more so that it is accepted as entertainment.
heres a list of pop songs which help prove my point

pretty much anything on 97.1

Personally, I prefer poetry (and music) that can pull it off without poetic devices such as rhymes. Just being poetic based on rhythme. And besides, this isn't a poem, it's a letter.
And there is no 97.1 here... sweatdrop
