"Another Boy"

By Christopher Ziegler

Editor's Note: The fourth undercover video released by the Center for Medical Progress ends with the words "Another Boy!" as Planned Parenthood technicians search in a petrie dish for usable parts of an aborted baby.

Unwanted. Unnamed. Unloved.
Your Mom did not accept you.

Denied. Feared. Forgotten.
Your Dad did not protect you.

Ridiculed. Dissected. Disposed.
They did not see your humanity.

No one gave you a chance at life.

But He who wore a crown of thorns—
He saw your humanity.

He who, like you, died naked
And forsaken—
He gave you a name.

He who was abandoned
And betrayed—
Did not forget you.
He did not leave you.

The Author of Life
Died with you—
