i’ve been so disturbed about the presumed overturning of roe v wade i haven’t found words yet. right now it’s a lot of emotions. i’m full of anger and disgust. i feel like at the core of this decision it’s about them not seeing us as human beings. ever. it’s about them seeing us as objects to own and use and control. our freedom bothers them so much they’re trying to drag us into a past where they felt more powerful. but we will persevere whether it means protesting on the streets. or flying friends out of certain states to get them the care they need. i’ve been trying to write some new poetry about this cause i need a place to put all these emotions. i keep thinking about how to help. how can we help those needing abortions in places where they’re already inaccessible? we give money to the right organizations. we raise our voices. we educate ourselves. and we rage. millions of lives depend on it. they hate abortion because they think they own human life – not because they love human life.
it shouldn’t affect anyone
what we do with our bodies
least of all those who haven’t
walked a day in our shoes
