Further Learning/Thesis Of My Paper.
Steve Taylor wrote this powerful song in memory of Baby Doe's Deaths in 1983. He was a Christian artist without to many labels and was totally fine contronting social issues even if they seemed personal.
“Baby Doe” lays the heartache Taylor felt as he
followed the news of a baby born in Bloomington,
Indiana with Down’s Syndrome, and
despite numerous outside pleas for adoption, the parents and doctors agreed to
allow Baby Doe to starve to death. The lyrics recount how, by standing
silent, Christians helped to facilitate the baby’s death."
