Something happened to me and it was extreme.
As I was aborting a baby, it let out a loud scream.
The scream was heart-wrenching and it was chilling.
It was terrifying and I certainly didn't like the feeling.
There were no ifs, ands, or maybes.
I decided to stop aborting babies.
I can still hear that baby's horrible scream.
I would give anything if it was only a dream.
It was an experience that I truly deplore.
I decided then and there not to abort babies anymore.

'True story' you certainly have my attention here! Do you think it would work as a poetic rewrite where you lose the rhyme and simply use rhythmic flow?

So sad, but may provoke many to think. Rhiannon
