Overturning Against All

Janet Kuypers
7/22/22

From the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling —
The overturning of Roe v. Wade, and
Stripping away women’s Constitutional
Protections.

It is not only pregnant women affected.
Any doctors providing birthing services,
Especially ones specializing in high-risk
Pregnancies, may leave the states who
Ban abortions —

Leaving fewer doctors, particularly — and
Tragically — in rural areas. Beyond that,
Medical students and medical residents
Won’t want to train in states that don’t
Offer this,

Which is the same practice as providing
Miscarriage services for women in need.
And if that’s not enough, the one thing
Women felt they had a trusted right to —
Birth control —

That may be taken away from them too.
I know this might just be water cooler talk,
But I heard within the industry that when
The first birth control pill was released,
the catholic church,

Who held stock in that pharmaceuticals
Company, protested madly over the pill.
They complained like mad, but didn’t sell
Their stock as the company made money
Hand over fist

Because of this “sinful” product — and
I hear that only after a generic came along
And the one drug company got less coin
From birth control, did the catholic church
Sell their stock.

#

But let’s get away from abortions, and to
Meds, because some drugs for it are used
For other purposes too...        As a woman
Diagnosed at an early age with psoriatic
Arthritis,

One of the drugs I took was Methotrexate.
And now people who suffer with psoriasis,
Lupus and other autoimmune disorders
Can’t obtain their first-line medication,
Methotrexate,

Because it is also in abortion medication.
(I remember how after a single grand mal
Seizure, I was put on a medication for it
That was also an anti-depressant; later I
Realized

I felt devoid of life then, because that drug
Treated two completely different medical
Issues.) Anti-abortion news now spreading
Like wildfire makes some search for more
“All-natural”

Herbal options that are touted online, from
Hogwarts, pennyroyal, mugwort... to excess
Vitamin c — but anyone with an ounce of
Knowhow knows that too much of this is
Critically

More dangerous to the actual living human
Female that its almost ensured failure on an
Embryo. But, I suppose desperate times call
For desperate measures, when women lose
Their rights...

Because when some states are bound and
Determined to do this to women, believe it
Or not, what kicks in for women is their
Survival instinct. As some give rights to the
“Non-living,”

They take away rights from living, breathing,
Voting adults across genders, ages, and
interests — because whatever overturning
This does, it really does affect more than
The select few.
