and all the lost children
supporting choice
supporting freedom rights
(but are you ever
horrified?)
choosing girls
fifteen sixteen eighteen
who deserve their high school
college years
(but do you ever wonder
if it kills them more
to lose the life they’ve
created, than to keep it?)
helping women
who deserve their careers
husbands who can’t
afford to support
a family alone
(are you ever cold
though, like tinkling ice
when she says it’s not
even a question, I’m
getting rid of it?)
and I sometimes think women
and their boyfriends lovers husbands
already made their choices
when they chose to risk the results.
choosing the rights
of american women
(but is this a free
enlightened nation
where it’s lawful
and funded by taxpayers
to discard unborn children?)
