Just Checking my
               Religions

Janet Kuypers
6/27/22

After the overturning of Roe v. Wade,
I believe over half of these United States
Had “trigger laws” that would instantly
Restrict abortions or make them illegal.

These christian “conservatives” think
They’re helping an unborn “child”, when
Their own bible doesn’t agree with them,
And they only restrict women instead.

But christians, if you are so hung-ho
On imposing your religion as law, tell me
Why a fetus in the U.S. government doesn’t
Get a Social Security Number, or why

No priest can bless a stillborn or a mis-
Carriage because it was never considered
Alive. What does that say for protecting
A non-living thing over an adult female?

Speaking of religion as law (which I think
Is something the United States wants to
Shy away from), what of the Jewish people,
who don’t believe life begins at conception —

Or that a fetus is a full person deserving
Equal rights to human beings. Jewish law
Gives a fetus the full status of a human
At birth, and the Talmud indicates that

Until 40 days of gestation, the fetus is
“Mere water”. Ancient rabbis considered
A fetus as part of the mother, and it was
Fully dependent on the mother, and she

Had full rights to do whatever she wanted
With her body. So if the new conservative
christians impose these restrictions, they
Constitutionally break the first amendment

And deny Freedom of Religion for some?
I don’t think you conservative christians
Are still holding a grudge on this killing
jesus thing, but trying to make your religion

Law is actually illegal, and in the Constitution.
So, really... at this point, what laws do you
Hope to break ‘til your unfounded religious
Tenets are law, restricting all Woman-kind?
