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.
