This one should definitely be pitched to some of these pro-life groups to see if they might adopt it. Could make a killing should it be used for advertising. My opinion on the topic of abortion is middle ground. In some cases could be the lesser of two evils if the mother is not prepared to raise the child. But the middle ground, if there is one, would be to give it up for adoption. I was an adopted child myself. Never learned the entirety of the circumstances but since I was born while WWII was going on, my best guess is that I was born to one whose husband was either still overseas or killed in the war and couldn't afford to raise a child by herself. Single parents were still pretty much looked down on in those days.

Very close to the bone subject for some, normally swept under the carpet hidden from sight, you dared to to bring it to the forefront, I await other comments with abated breath.

LOL Thanks for commenting all over the place. I haven't had time to check out your stuff yet. Welcome aboard Alan....Are you on facebook. I send my pro life songs to many Pro Life Groups and they like them. I write songs that others don't...
