Abortion

She could have been a doctor

She could have been a teacher

She could have been the world's best lawyer

She could have been a star on the silver screen

She could have been anything she wanted

Hold up......

Are you on the same page as me?

If you are thinking about an aborted zygote, let me stop you right there.

I am talking about women.

I am talking about the woman

Who had to drop out of school 

Forced to be a mother before she is ready

While her (now ex) boyfriend continues on

Bar hopping to find the next hot hookup.

I am talking about the woman

Who will no longer be able to study to her fullest

Because she is being forced to keep a responsibility

That she cannot afford.

I am talking about the woman

Who has to carry her rapist's burden

For nine long months, or else she faces jail.

I am talking about the woman

Who has to hold a child she brought in

Staring into the spitting image of the baby's father,

The man who raped her on that dark night.

I am talking about the woman 

Who has to face slut shaming

Being called a whore

Having to throw her whole life down the drain

For something she did not plan for.

Damn right I'm pro-choice.

I will stand until my last breath for my sisters

So they have the right to choose what THEY feel right

For their life

For their wellbeing

For their own BODY.

You may claim to be "pro-life"

Bullshit.

Do you care about the life of a woman who has to carry on a pregnancy?

Do you care about the life of a child who has been brought into an unhealthy environment?

Do you care about the life of the baby AFTER it is born?

I see anti-abortionists yell at the top of their lungs about murder,

Yet when there are children in orphanages, or in foster homes,

Being pushed from here to there,

They are silent.

Life does not end at birth. It begins.

That hypocricy shows they are not only anti-choice, but in essence anti-life.

It is a woman's right to choose.

Politics has no place in the uteri of the nations.
