and post notes and photos about your poem like Constance La France.
In the past when a girl was "in trouble" pregnant,
And she finally confessed to the reality;
It was clear she was not going to keep her baby,
A back alley abortion was an option.
Many sent to bleak maternity homes,
Forced to name their newborn babies;
To sign adoption papers severing ties.
No help existed or was available for these girls,
Their human rights to be mothers, sadly violated.
