Choice

It takes two to make a baby

But the women bear the brunt

Yet for reasons that confound me,

It’s the men who most confront.

 

They just plant a seed and vanish

While not caring for a whit

If they’ve left behind a token

And what will become of it.

 

So the females must contend with

Something growing which may be

Not a part of what they’d wanted

And with which they don’t agree.

 

Now the law allows reversal

Of what might be a mistake

Letting women make decisions

Which should be their own to make.

 

Let the Court step back and ponder

Why this ruling must be banned

When so many now will suffer

With a pregnancy unplanned.

 

All of those who think abortion

Shouldn’t ever be allowed

Should be happy having babies

And live up to what they’ve vowed.

 

But for women in this country

Who’ve been guaranteed a voice

In the workings of their bodies,

They deserve to have a choice.
