Abortion Rights Poem

Abortion Rights Poem by Supernova-Exploding

How dare you presume
To tell me
What to do with MY
own body?!

You're not pro-life
For what kind of life is it
Without autonomy?

Hey you!
Big White Man in a Suit
Yeah you with the theology
You with the trumped-up ideology
You don't control, no you Don't control
MY biology!

No one here is killing babies
No one here is anti-baby
Pro-baby, pro-choice
Pro-family and pro-family planning!

We, as people, are claiming the right
To continue, or not
The process of embryogenesis
In our abdomens!

We, as people, are claiming the right
Whether or not to endure
Nine months of strenuous, irreversible changes
To our own bodies!

We, as people, are claiming the right
To determine
Whether this is an appropriate time
In our lives
To become parents - or not!

I am not a test tube
My body is not your laboratory
How I got pregnant is none of your business
Stay out of my medical history
I shouldn't have to justify
My right to body sovereignty.
