Loathsome Peepers

American women are dying Leaving children and doctors crying There's naught they can do Abortion's taboo Because prejudiced men keep prying

Sheesh… in a land with more than it’s fair share of nutters and more than it’s fair share of numbskulls, are the nutters shooting the wrong people? It’s uncanny, Rico, that in 2022 there is a need for lines such as yours, but there is… and you write them well. Terry

so true, rico! in today's news, some sales clerks at walgreen's (chain of drug stores) wouldn't sell condoms because it "went against their religious beliefs!" how far backwards are we going to go?

Men with no medical knowledge are rushing to legislate medical treatment for American women, so now doctors need a legal opinion before they can provide even ER service to a woman! May all such men reincarnate as male seahorses (the males tote the offspring whilst the female catches the next wave).

American's need to wake up, especially women, when voting. Vary interesting information on the seahorse!
