2012 Award Winning ProLife Poem

Our Unquestionable Gift, by Regina Marie Shawhan. Regina won 1st place in the national March for Life high school poetry contest that had 750 entries. Hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers from all over the country will march in Washington, D.C. on Monday, Jan. 23rd, 2012 and the student winners of the poetry, essay, and poster contests will be honored.

Our Founding Fathers sat one day and declared without a doubt.  The rights that God gave to mankind and what they were all about.  The most important they asserted was one endowed to all:
The right to life is guaranteed to persons large and small.  The Principles of Life are these, so listen carefully.  We must protect the life of each who trust so helplessly. The unborn's voice to us is silent, and though his plea is wordless, We must listen with our heart as each life has a purpose.
Conception is the beginning; a new soul where there was none.  Why would you end a person's life when it has just begun? With silent cries the unborn plea with us to be their voice.  Their home cannot become their tomb; life is the only choice. There can be no exception and not a compromise.
The stage of life does not matter when it comes to saving lives.  If the baby has a handicap, or is severely sick, we must remember life to all is an unquestionable gift.  It is not our place to make the choice of who will live and who will die.  God alone will decide, when it is time for us to say goodbye.  When the lives of mom and babe are threatened, we must not despair; Our obligation is to make sure they both get equal care.  And now these Principles of Life, so clearly stated and explained
Must be applied and shared with all; let no doubtful souls remain.  We will be the guardians of those who cannot fight,  And upon the Principles of Life together will unite.  Each person with a mind and soul for life he qualifies; No change can to the rule be made,
No Exception, No Compromise!

2010 Award Winning ProLife Poem
Silent Summons, by Regina Shawhan, 2010

A wordless plea, a silent cry,
A voice we can’t ignore
The helpless unborn call on us,
To fight their desperate war.
Let us take up the mute request
Of those within their mother’s womb
And speak for ones we cannot see
Whose home must not become their tomb.
Pray for those who do not care
And let our voice be heard.
Do not hesitate; be strong,
Spread the awful, shocking word.
We can make a call to Congress
And declare our firm belief,
That every life is precious
Be it very long or brief.
No exceptions; we cannot choose
Who will live and who will die.
This decision is not ours
The right to live we cannot deny.
Let us stand together now
And defend those who can not fight.
A knife, a fear, a silent scream.
The unborn call; let us unite.
