Texas Abortion Law
Words fail me
When I think
About the abortion law
In Texas
That effectively bans abortion
And empowers vigilantes
To enforce their new
Taliban like decree
And I think of new restrictions
Texas is thinking about
Criminalizing abortion
Including the death penalty
For doctors and woman
All done the proponents claim
To empower women,
To protect woman
As they violate
Their basic human rights
All promoted by Christians
Showing once again
That many so-called Christians
Violate the core principles
Of their faith
In short
The new law
Is an abortion
And it is hard
To remain silent
Any more
