Uncomfortable Post-Roe Dialogue between Mother and Child

What everyone under 50 realizes subconsciously: Since Roe legalized prenatal homicide, they are survivors of the abortion age.

.    .     AAS = Abortion Age Survivor
.    .     PCA = Pro-Choice Advocate

AAS – Ma, you call yourself ‘pro-choice’. Did I have any brothers or sisters?


PCA – What kind of question is that?


AAS – Well, since the abortion age of post-1973 Roe v. Wade began, all mothers have had the legal choice to kill their preborn children. I’m happy I survived, but I was just wondering if I had any siblings that didn’t.


PCA – That question is rude and insensitive.


AAS – But isn’t it reasonable? I’m one of the lucky ones who survived the age of “choice,” but a third of my peers didn’t. Many of us under 50 years old today are missing due to being killed before birth. I’m just wondering if any were one of my siblings.


PCA – Don’t think about these things. Such thoughts and questions violate my rights as a woman.


AAS – How about the rights of siblings, fathers, grandparents, and potential future friends, spouses, work mates and citizens – all whose lives are diminished due to the absence of these people. And, of course, what about the right of the child himself, to live out his life as predestined by his prenatal existence? Women don’t own the children within them, they’re caretakers of them. You don’t only think about yourself, do you?


PCA – Don’t talk to me that way!


AAS – I ask with love. I’m only trying to follow reason, which leads to vital questions. I know you respect that. Being an abortion-age survivor leads me to realize it could have been me. It makes my life feel very cheap.


PCAWhat could have been you!?


AAS – One out of three people have been killed before birth in our abortion era. I could have easily been one of them. The message that screams out to everyone now is that life is cheap, meaningless, and certainly not sacred. It’s no wonder suicides, drug abuse, and use of psychiatric meds have skyrocketed since prenatal murder was legalized in 1973.


PCA – Murder? Abortion isn’t murder!


AAS – What else could it be? The definition of murder to is intentionally kill an innocent human being. Science is clear that human beings begin life at conception.


PCA – That’s a terrible thing to think about your mother.


AAS – I’m not accusing you of having one; nor would I judge your guilt or innocence if you did. Many post-abortive women may have been genuinely ignorant of the reality of abortion or coerced into getting one. I just want to know if I’m missing a sibling, who I could rightly mourn and whose soul I could pray for.


PCA – You’re a seeker of truth, which means you’re a good person. I thank God for you every day. I think it’s time you and I have a serious talk.


AAS – Okay, mom.
