Trust Women! (Roe v. Wade, 37th) Women have been our backbone Ever since the dawn of Man Without them there’s no meaning To that Heavenly plan. Though Man has tried to stifle them And not listen to their voice Finally laws have come to pass That give, Women, their choice. Some people still won’t recognize That freedom, is for everyone We’d be back to the old ways If, their backward will, was done. In some countries, they are slaves And like livestock, sold and bought Jailed, beaten, even murdered For having, independent thought. Our Nation claims to be better (Though not long, since they could vote) Equal to a Man, in many ways But not, in all, we should note. Seems when they finally get a Right Some people, want to take it back Like now, when Roe v. Wade Comes under their radical attack. The Right, to control their bodies Is one, they want to take away To force their will on everyone Surely not, the American way! There have even been some murders Of those who, uphold that Right and Law While claiming, “the right to life” What an ignorant, mental flaw! We should trust all those Women And respect, their Right to Choice Not let the few, silence them Take away that Right, their Voice. 01.22.2010 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |

I had to google that Roe v. Wade to better understand what you write about here. Thank you for defending the women's right to decide in these delicate questions, with this powerful and well written piece of poetry. Indeed it is a question of trust. Love, Margherita |

Being a Catholic I am against abortion for religious reasons but as a citizen I believe that we can not force our own personal religious views onto others. I also believe that women have the right to decide whether or not to continue with a pregnancy in its early stages. ---- This piece took courage to submit. |

Interesting...Whenever abortion is mentioned and a womans rights, I have to think of the rights or the fate of the child...If a woman could choose to have a child or an abortion, why would she choose an abortion...hopefully for the right reasons, and considering those right reasons, is there a right reason?. Thinking from the childs perspective...the child that can only hope the choice will be made in his favor...just some thoughts...James |
