Silencing My Generation

In Ramah a voice is heard, crying and weeping loudly.
Rachel mourns for her children and refuses to be comforted, 
because they are dead. 
Jeremiah 30:15 CEV

 
 An original felt pen composition by Vivian Au, age 7

Do you see two doctors with knives ready to kill the babies? 
Do you see people standing by, pleading and crying out against this act?
Do you see the unhappy sun up in the sky?

Do you see that America is failing in her duty to protect the innocent,
the helpless, the vulnerable, the unborn?

Rescue any who need to be saved,
as you would rescue someone from a fire. 
Then with fear in your own hearts,
have mercy on everyone who needs it.
Jude 23 CEV

The artist was asked to draw a picture about how she felt about abortion near the period of time in the United States of America when the issue of stem cell research had come up for vote in the House of Representatives. The proposed bill that would have allowed and motivated stem cell research to take place in the USA on a wide scale was struck down in the House. This drawing was first published on the Internet a few days following that decision.
