you aren’t for babies

Linda M. Crate

no one is entitled to anyone’s body,
and so unless one is carrying a
potential fetus they shouldn’t get a decision
in the matter;

don’t care what your faith says
because no one is required to believe
in your religion or your god—

there are religions that insist on abortions
if it would save the mother’s lives,
and you’re violating their
religious freedoms;

a person doesn’t need to give you a reason
why they’re getting an abortion—

birth control can fail no matter how
careful someone is,
so don’t tell me you are for babies;

if you were then you would want them born to
people who actually want to and can care for them—

not insisting that rape victims and children carry
babies to full term because these babies
are miracles;

no one is required to provide for your domestic
supply of infants.
