JOHN J. DUNCAN, JR. of tennessee in the house of representatives Wednesday, January 23, 2008 Mr. DUNCAN. Madam Speaker, I was recently visited in my office by one of my constituents from the second district of Tennessee, Julie Rich. Julie is one of six winners in a nationwide contest for the March for Life Education and Defense Fund of 2008. I would like to call to the attention of my colleagues and other readers of the Record her winning poem. One Less Angel Will Cry A guardian angel looks up from Earth And prays each day to the Lord in the hope That one particular baby will survive until birth The mother does not want it; she is scared She has by now reached the end of her rope O Lord! Please let the child be spared! She throws up her hands and yells, ``I'm through! I don't want to be in this position I will abort. It's something I must do!'' The angel wept What a horrid decision! Up to heaven the angel and the baby's soul leapt The gates were wide open and the soul was ushered in And why not For one whose lifespan was tremendously thin? The devastating thought of abortion should be left far behind It is like a blot On all of mankind ``Build Unity on the Life Principles throughout America. No Exception! No Compromise!'' We must be strong with these words, America Because millions upon millions have died this way Abortion has claimed too many lives Babies perish like this every single day What if it had been you? One of the ones killed? You would not know Your body would have been chilled Mothers please do not tell your infants goodbye Let the babies live, let them grow! And one less angel will cry ____________________
