Wow. Yesterday morning I heard a song for the first time that was so powerful. It is a secular song, being played on country and adult contemporary stations (I'm not going to get into the whole "pop in my country" thing right now), but the message is so strong and sweet, I was in tears. In fact, as I listen to the song right now and type this up, the screen is getting a little blurry and smudgy. Maybe I need a new monitor. Anyway, the song is called "Butterfly" by a duo that call themselves bluefield. You can hear the song on their MySpace page.
On this same topic (which you will only know once you've heard the song), Oklahoma has passed a law that requires an ultrasound be performed and the image shown to the mother prior to any abortion. This is really where the battle for abortion is won. All the rhetoric of choice and not ready for parenthood and whatever goes right out the window when you see that baby looking and acting just like the baby it is in his or her temporary shelter of the mother's womb.
I'll save the discussion of how racism is intricately a part of abortion for another time so I can put this up on the blog. Two days in a row of posting is a pretty good accomplishment.
