Roe v. Wade Comes and Goes

  'Tis a day that did not get enough attention, this 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
   I read how 70 percent of Americans oppose overturning the Supreme Court's decision. I wonder, then, of America, and am saddened, that these people mean so little to us, that we discard them, saying they have no rights, not even the right to life, that we say, if they were born, they would not be coming into homes that loved them, anyway, so they are therefore better off never knowing life outside the womb.
  Bless the unborn, this day. Though the wave of public opinion stands against them, may the day come that America sees what it does is wrong. Of all nations that have made progress in civil rights, America might be the greatest. How, then, does it shun equality for these who are unborn? Others in the parade of civil rights have garnered the rights to citizenship, and fair treatment. How is it, then, that those so precious as unborn babies are not so much as granted the right to live? How is it that their's is not even considered a civil rights cause? How is it we say they have no rights at all?
