ABORTION 2022

A woman's body does not
Belong, to the government.
Once again, this borders on
Personal harassment.

The woman's body is hers,
It's a personal choice.
The abortion issue ignites the
Woman and her voice.

A typical case of men trying
To control women.
It is a personal thing what
Can grow in her abdomen.

Do you really want another?
Suffragette movement?
Are you doing this for?
Your own amusement?

Abortion has no place
On a ballot.
It will end up in
The court of appellate.

If Roe-VS-Wade,
is overturned.
It is bad juju for
All concerned.

Let's not get the women of
America in an uproar.
The government should stick
To the faces on MT. Rushmore.

I am a woman, I beg you,
"Leave this one alone".
This belongs to the women,
Choice each to their own.

Single mom's make-up the
The majority of single parenting.
If you poke at this,
Beware the day of reckoning.

There are many reasons why
A woman would choose abortion.
If we upset this, it can throw
Our existence out of proportion.

I have very little to say about the idea of abortion. I do not think that any woman would let a pregnancy go very far, if she needs or wants to terminate it. You have made it abundantly clear, that it is a woman's perogitive and her body.
While your rhythm is a bit ragged here and thewre, I see no obvious flaws in this piece. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

it is worse than (personal harassment) you need something stronger. the government is intruding where they don't belong and acting like a dictator. imposing their morals on a woman who wants an abortion. good poem, it needs a bit of work. I know you are up to it.
