Roe Weighed

Women have noticed with alarm
Justice has lost all of its charm
Despite lamebrains
The fact remains*
Doctors have vowed to do no harm! 


*FACT: One does not become an individual
until the umbilical cord is severed.
Until then, Matthew 18:9 instructs:
"If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee"

Ann Peck Date: 11/5/2021 2:32:00 PM Interesting Biblical verse you quote! Your poem invites hours of discussion. I'd like to be there.

A lack of education prevents them from understanding that, like a parachute, the mind only works when it is open! Aloha!

Debra L Brown Date: 11/3/2021 8:02:00 PM Hi! Rico... Love the Limerick on Roe. It's amazing how much politics plays a roll in everything now, There are no morals any more - Thanks Rico - Debbie Login to Reply Rico Leffanta Date: 11/9/2021 10:10:00 AM As Albert Einstein predicted, civilisation crumbles not from evil doers, but by those who watch and do nothing. On Veteran's Day, please remember none of us enlisted to support a government which prohibits women from seeing medical treatment nad prohibits doctors from providing it! Aloha Rico

L Milton Hankins Date: 11/2/2021 11:48:00 AM Interesting, Rico, very interesting. Also, may I add that it clearly states in the book of Genesis (NASB) that "God breathed into his nostril the breath of life and man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7) So, there is ample biblical evidence that one is not "a living being" until it breathes on its own. Just sayin'. Login to Reply Rico Leffanta Date: 11/2/2021 12:07:00 PM Well thought and said! Every State in the USA - and WHO nation - require an infant to breathe before it can be registered as a Live Birth! I am surprised the Bible-thumpers have not made it illegal for doctors and nurses to kick-start an infant breathing with a slap on the butt . . . ..
