Women's Rights

I hate controversy.  That being, said, I am realizing I need to take a stand for what I believe regardless of the backlash I receive.  The issue I write about below is very close to my heart.   

Today, I listed to a newsclip of  a certain Presidential candidate talk about women's rights.   I asked myself, does she really care that much?  I cannot judge where she is coming from but I can say without hesitation there is a ton of hypocrisy behind the so called Women's rights and Reproductive Health lies being put out there.   This is what inspired me to write the poem below.  

WOMEN'S RIGHTS

They demonize the right for protecting the unborn.

Telling lies about pro choice and condemning our platform.

Making it sound as if we don't care about women's choice.

When I myself am a woman who cares about our voice.

They don't tell about the babies suctioned against their will

Or about the women, who regret that choice still.

About the years of trauma over ending the life within.

No, the left would rather point the finger at you and condemn.

I have always failed to understand the rationality

Of ending life so soon with no accountability

Of throwing arrows at my claim that this is murder.

And making me look evil by demonizing me further.

I watch the news and what do I see.

Them talk about women and their rights continually.

While letting men play sports, pushing women aside.

They condemn us but allow the unborn to be denied.

I stand here amazed when I share the truth with others.

Of their blind allegiance to these left winged brothers.

I cry for them to just open their eyes to see.

This act, called reproductive health, is far from that to me.

They change the name to hide what's going on.

It was pro-choice for years and was going strong.

Before that, it was simply called abortion

Sadly it's the same, it's all just a distortion.

And when we try to tell the truth, hoping they will comprehend.

They call me a liar but do not do research in the end.

They don't want to know. They like where they stand.

Self righteously judging us from their pedestal because they can.

So I rest my case, and know it will never be denied

I will fight for the unborn and expose every single lie.

It is up to you to check facts to see if what I say is true.

Or continue in your altered point of view.
