Stories about babies

Art by Anna MacArthur

My sister and fellow artist Anna is embarking on a mission to talk about fiction with themes relating to abortion.

Someday I want to have on this blog a section where I talk about works of fiction that have a Pro-Life message. Abortion is the primary and greatest sin of our age, or any age, because when you look at the numbers of victims it is obviously the largest genocide in the whole of recorded history. Since 1973, there have been approximately 50,000,000 abortions in America alone. I want you to think about that number for a moment. Don't just read it as a big number; try to actually imagine that amount of people. This is more people than you have ever met. This is more people than you have ever heard of. More people than live in your state. More than every single person who died in the civil war. More than every single person who died in World War Two, including both soldiers and Holocaust victims. Now remember that that is only the number of victims in America.
Not only is the death toll staggering, but these people are the most innocent and vulnerable people that exist. They are not soldiers or criminals, they are children, and they are being killed in some of the most excruciating ways imaginable. This is happening right now. It is happening constantly. Any time throughout the day when you're not thinking about it, it's happening.
Yes, I am trying to make you feel guilty.

This is extremely important. Is it true that things seems more and more hopeless as the proponents of pre-birth (and often, shortly after birth) infanticide are starting to drop their pretense that the victims aren't human and openly advocating murder as a good thing, but there are also people who stand in grey areas of ignorance and indifference, and stories may reach them. More than that, the tragedy must be acknowledged, even if no one listens.
