THE RIGHTS OF THE UNCONCEIVED
Let’s add to irrationality
To nonsense unbelieved
And urge, against free human choice,
The rights of the unconceived
The unborn, however unwanted,
Have protestors who defend
Who will not take their misery home
But make sure their paths begin
The maimed, the pained, the hopeless
Have rights of tragedy unrelieved
Yet we ignore a great moral sore
The plight of the unconceived
We must have laws with iron braced jaws
To ensure new lives are received
It should be a crime at any time
To deny life to the unconceived
Should fertile lad and fertile lass
Henceforth with any passion pass
Consummation must be achieved
To insure the rights of the unconceived.

Nice. One nitpick: “insure” in the fourth stanza should be “ensure”.

Good catch. Thank you. Correction made.

Must. Make. Babies!

Funny, but not quite as much when you realize this bears a lot of resemblance to the Catholic church’s actual position on birth control.

Down with diploidism. Human life is human life.
In fact, we sperm think of you all as just the means of making more of us. In a very round about way.

You sperm die during fertilization.
I have used the argument that the ovum is the first stage of human life with “life begins at conception” anti-abortionists before. They don’t like it.
