The Parallels of the Unborn and the Immigrant

The unborn and the immigrant, I say, have a lot in common. One is told he is not welcome on earth, and the other is told he is not welcome on this part of earth. Both are told they have no rights. Both are treated as invaders, the unborn invading the mother's body and the immigrant invading this country. Both are inconveniences to other people. Both are considered parasites. One we say is not viable, since it could not live on its own outside the mother's womb. The other we call illegal for living outside its home country. One is not allowed to be called a citizen. And, the other is not allowed to be called a person. One just wants to come to earth and be part of a family. The other often wants no more than to join family already here. One is told he would be an economic burden on parents already living on earth. And, the other is told he would be an economic burden on the people already in America.

I say, let them both come. Welcome them both. Let the unborn come to live on earth and let the immigrant come to live in America.
