to the defenders of the unborn...

The defenders of the unborn
Run away from the newly born
The defenders of the unborn
Will take away the rights of women already born
The defenders of the unborn will scorn the lowly born
Even as they berate women who choose not to give birth
To a child condemned to squalor, want and possible abandonment

The defenders of the unborn
Say nothing to the irresponsible men who unleash their seeds
Straight into the wombs of women they refuse to support
Some of these men are the very defenders of the unborn
The defenders of the unborn say nothing of the abortions they have paid for

The defenders of the unborn
Mealy mouthed vile haters of women
Posing as lovers of children they will never take care of

Where are the defenders of the unborn
When the children already born are crying for milk
Where are the defenders of the unborn
When the children already born need shelter
Where are the defenders of the unborn
When the mothers of the unborn are looking
For guidance and condoms to prevent the unborn from being born
