Abortion
(by Jacqui + Tiff)
A portion of life, which hasn’t even grown
You're telling her she needs to make sure it’s born?
Who’s the father? She doesn’t even know,
She was raped you see—
And that, was not her fault.
Why should she, a girl who can’t provide,
Provide for another life, they’re not going to survive!
Is it really murder,
If the baby is not a baby?
Alien.
Definition: Foreign- “unfamiliar, disturbing, distasteful.”
Is it really murder,
When it saves the woman who goes through unwanted pain for an unwanted birth
Choice.
We talk and talk and talk about freedom.
Freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom of -
Oh wait- even now, in the 21st century,
We are lacking fundamental rights
We are lacking support for women
But we are not lacking ignorance.
We’re not asking for much, just to have control over
Our own bodies,
Our own lives,
Our own stories,
not to have YOU make the choice for us.
It’s stupid really,
That the only thing keeping women from their wombs,
Old ways, the past.
It’s a new generation, a time of change,
IF abortion is cautioned,
A long road of financial issues begin,
Depression descends,
An unclean slate to start again
Who suffers?
Not the politicians,
Not the anti-feminists,
The women.
They have to suffer from choices they do not make,
Lives they wished were erased.
Give women freedom,
Give women a choice,
Give women the option of abortion.
