Throwback Thursday

December Birdsong

Sometimes, when I hear a bird singing in December, I
repeat to myself this poem by Oliver Herford.

I Heard a Bird Sing

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,"
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

The Exact Number

Statistics cannot keep up the exact number of babies who have been aborted over the years.
I can, however, give you one unchanging statistic.  I can tell you the EXACT number of

babies who CHOSE to be aborted.

ZERO!
