Child As Savior

Why be against abortion?
Because less violent - less destructive -
Alternatives are available.   
Oral sex, for example.    
(You can't get pregnant using your head.)    
     
Wheat in nature comes in terms of kernels.    
But we try to improve on it,    
Turning it into bread, pasta, etc.    
Likewise with sex and giving birth.    
It can be thought of as mundane, ordinary    
(After all, animals do it).    
But religion and civilization try to lift it up,      
turning it into something more glorious,even sacred.    
     
Yes, motherhood is placed on a pedestal.    
The Church does the same thing with childhood    
Via the super-glorification of the Christ Child.    
In terms of the promotion of Christmas-spirit.    

That perpetual annual celebration,      
- Which will never come to an end -    
Creates the theme of Child-as-Savior.    
But this spills over to every child, not just one.    
For even the ordinary child is a savior,    
If all of them are taken together.    
For each new generation saves the world,mankind,    
From certain extinction.    
     
Killing our unborn "saviors," via abortion,      
goes against the Child-as-Savior principle.    
Jesus, unwanted by his enemies, had Judas as a betrayer.      
The unwanted child today has his own mother for a traitor.    
     
Judas at least repented of his deed, to his credit.    
"I have shed innocent blood," he said.   
He went and hanged himself.(Matthew 27.5).    
     
Today's Judas-types could repent,    
Women could turn around,
Becoming anti-abortion activists,    
Joining Pro-Life groups, redeeming past mistakes.    
"Redeem the times, for the days are evil"(Ephesians 5.16).    

But most don't change their ways,
And so become, arguably, worse than Judas!    
He was called, "the Son of Destruction"(John 17.12),    
which means "the Destroyer."    
The modern day female "Judases" can be called,    
Daughters of Destruction.    
For abortion is the destruction of the innocent.
     
PS:This poem is meant NOT as an attack on women      
so much as a call for them    
to join Pro-Life organizations      
to work for the repeal of Roe v. Wade.    

Self-redemption (with Christ's help),    
I like to call it.
