"Abortion is murder. Plain and simple. From the moment of conception, life begins. God begins a creative work within the womb. Babies cry in the womb. Babies laugh in the womb. Babies smile in the womb. Babies hiccup in the womb. Babies bond with the mother in the womb. Babies are alive in the womb. Wombs should never be tombs . . . Anytime I think of children, I think of my Wrenley. When we lost her at 39 weeks, we were devastated. The doctors encouraged us to spend the day with her after she was born. It was very difficult. The most vivid memory I have is of the silence in the room. It was deafening. She didn't make a sound. The silence pierced my mind, and I will never forget it. My wife and I would've given anything to hear her cry. We would've given our lives to hear just one sound from her body. And it dawned on me. I would give anything to hear her cry, and there are people paid to snuff out the cries of children. There are people who profit off of silencing the God-given vibrations from the mouths of children. This is evil beyond comprehension . . . I want to see abortion outlawed because it is an offense to God, and should be illegal." - L.J. Wright
