Life


Find bacteria on Mars.

Life.

But cells inside a womb?

Easy to destroy.

Why don't we stand for what's right?

Give that human a chance.

A chance to breathe.

Live.

Fight.

Cry. 

Experience the world.

Trees.

Love.

Life.

"Murder" isn't the term they use.

But isn't it the same thing?
