Paedophobia 

by Cassidy Havens 

I tried to imagine abortion, but I could only see a fetus in a fighter jet, zooming across the sky. The fetus was shot down and ejected from the uterus-shaped fighter jet. Imagine this: thousands upon thousands of fetuses floating down in parachutes under the cover of darkness to sneak into your houses and slit the throats of your grandparents. Just to have their food and diapers.
