Women's freedoms were again expounded, but lost in the speech-making were the voices of the children. Angels now, they play forever in a world where the discarded and the disenfranchised are heard. Whispers that haunt the denial of their existence won't hush, and linger in the vehemence of selfishness that demands death as retribution for the inequality of childbearing. During a time when they struggled not to be considered chattel, the new feminists pressed lawmakers for the authority to determine the worth of their unborn daughters and sons. They demanded rights, and received wrongs.
Abortion is the complete subjugation of another person for the sole intention of elimination.
The redefinition of personhood to fill an additional need is nothing innovative in America. In our country, tradition precludes that it takes an evolutionary process to achieve full personhood. The ugliest pages of American history bleed with the torment of each subclass of human being as they labored for their civil rights. Silence is the only meter of an abortion statistic. Mute victims of a discrimination that even denied them their right to life.
