A Rights Phenomenon

A lady in Washington sent her little girl to school the other day, For what she thought was the usual study work and play. School nurse talked to her and quietly drove her to Planned Parenthood. Yes they told her, you are to have an abortion. For your apparent good. Don’t tell your parents or there may make a big fuss. We are your friends little girl, you can count on us. You know how some parents are always trying to be nosy at home. As if it was their business what you do and where you roam! After all this is legal now you know ; We’ve had some long hard fights. Your parents voted for this in the name of choice and women’s rights. We here at Planned parenthood have fought hard for this legislation.. And it’s hardly ever on the news station! Aren’t we nice? This is legal in fifteen states now. Hooray! So don’t tell your parents and the taxpayers will pay. The President and legislators have made this your right. So don’t tell your parents or it’ll cause a fight. You see we got voters to suck for the choice jargon. It‘s quite a line. By voting for so called choice, they lose more choice every time! What ? Yes we know you have to have a note from your parents to take an aspirin. Don’t worry, the legislators fixed it so you don’t need a note for this abortion. This happens and is true. It was on the news the other day. A small news item in the middle of the day A Mother found out the hard way there was nothing she could do about it because in her state as well as fourteen others and rising, it is legal for organizations like planned parenthood to perform an abortion on under age children without notifying the parents . ……. Strange how the news people don’t get right on this…. Interesting. … Also interesting is the fact that some people get angry at me and others for even talking about it…..Do you know the laws in your state?...For your child? - Robert

Amazing that both I picked are on this terrible subject. I wonder if you had any activity in what goes on. You certainly write with authority on the horror of it.

Scary stuff going on, I bet that law was tucked inside a 12,000 page bill

I don't know but now with the new HealthCare we will be paying for abortions through our tax dollars and the insurance fees that we will be paying so that everyone can have healthcare...Sara

I agree with you. It is totally wrong. Thanks for bringing this problem to the surface.

This is really scary. A child can't even get stitches without parental consent but an abortion is OK. What if that child dies in the process? I agree with Jeralynn on this. Powerful message well presented. Thank you for your kind comment on my poem. Karen

I heard about this, Robert, and it's VERY disturbing. I believe parents should have a right to know. As Doris said below, there could be complications. Even if these complications are not physical, a young girl may need counseling. Such a sad state of affairs outlined in your extremely important and relevant poem! Love, Carolyn

I'm with you on this one Robert!... I may be wrong about this but I have heard that a couple can choose abortion simply because the baby is the wrong sex and was not what they wanted as an addition to their family???...Children do not ASK or DEMAND to be brought into this world!! -Tim
