What's good for the goose, on becoming a mother

Today we celebrate Mother's Day, for those still with us and those gone away, with hearts of gratitude we acknowledge and pray.. This current climate where state's see fit to oversee a woman's choices and pass laws to restrict.. No one should take lightly the ending of a beating heart before an embryo is viable and get's it's life start.. The pro-life movement has made this their cause but as of late our Supreme Court is revealing the flaws.. Passing state laws to end invitro fertilization which is pro-family. What is their rationalization? None of these unwanted pregnancies are "virgin" conceptions, so what about the woman's partner, the male sperm injection? If a woman's body can be litigated so, Viagra and Cialis is also need to go. Our laws shouldn't set us back to the days of the Neander. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander..

I can relate to your poem and the controversy surrounding body choices. Just so complex these days.

This poem poignantly captures the complexity of Mother's Day in the current social and political landscape, intertwining themes of gratitude, loss, and reproductive rights. The juxtaposition of celebrating motherhood while grappling with legislation that restricts women's choices is both thought-provoking and timely.
