Abortion
Abortion
A sensitive word, never to be blown out of proportion
With all the decisions, the mental choices
One person facing and hearing mass demonstrations of voices
This poem came to me
For all the silent regrets, or a result of a delivered victory
If this was you, I ask this in general, just what would you do
We glance into each’s other eyes as we lay
No time for initial foreplay
It’s my first time
Two souls blending together beyond the call to change their minds
Sperm greets egg, how do you do
Ecstasy of gyration flowing between me and you
Life conceived through explicit moans through and through
Man tucks his tail between his legs and run
Now I must look out for me, number one
I cannot believe he just up and gone
Left behind, feeling down, and now alone
The once beautiful melody of my heart has turned to stone
Weeks later
Positive home pregnancy test, no need for a calendar translator
No time machine to go back in time, or a Last Month Menstrual calculator
Unexpected results
Created within the bed of two consenting adults
An internal secret now hushed
A heavy decision falls on me to have this being, or time must be rushed
No one to hold my hand
Should I take a stand
Or call him and demand him to be a man
Calls unreturned, hang-ups on the other end
Wow, I just found out he’s now got a new girlfriend
He’s moved on
Our melody is now another’s song
An unwed mother will certainly be shunned upon
Sense of responsibility reached out with no respond
Day into weeks
Refusing to meet
No voicemails on my cell phone
This is all so very wrong
Eyes closed in shame for your brewing unethical thoughts
Catholic religious belief from birth I’ve been taught
Thy should not kill
However, does this decision fit the bill
For me to swallow this hard pill
A bitter taste to reckon, as a heart stands still
Of all the nights I surrendered unto him on my own free will
Life inside patiently awaits
As you decide its ultimate fate
Prolife or Prochoice lingering debates
Does anyone remember Roe versus Wade
Still the center of a woman’s marching crusade
Whoever knew
Dire consequences follows the fool
Time easing into the future for me to decide
No more mental free rides
This is your decision, and yours alone
Nothing in life is ever set in stone
Will halt this poem in the middle of the fork road here
For choices and decisions of a personal nature, which sheds a human tear
On certain issues, I will always turn my deaf ear
I must give privacy as well as respect
For that one person this poem has, or anyone this poem, will ever come to affect
As a writer, I will never try to blanket my opinions on anyone; it’s not my creed
But what I can tell you, I do believe
Forgiveness to think about, let alone, do,
Is granted from the Heavenly father; which I will never try to fill His shoes
Whichever road you have taken it is always your silent decision to choose
A sensitive word, never to be blown out of proportion
With all the decisions, the mental choices
One person facing and hearing mass demonstrations of voices
This poem came to me
For all the silent regrets, or a result of a delivered victory

I leave abortion to the woman. I just fundamentally end there. I absolutely support a woman's right to choose.

Shit! As you state the decision is upto the female.

I totally agree; however, someone needs to pass the insight to Congress. I try to sustain from my opinions, being a nurse, I have seen were there are dire consequences no matter which way a woman chooses, as well as unethical decisions based upon termination or sustaining a fetus. Therefore, I will always be bias either way. Thank you blue eyes for taking the time to comment on such a sensitive issue. Have a great evening as well.

You have a lot to offer the discussion. I don’t blame the mothers. They are taught they must think inside the parameters they are given. Breaking out of that requires risking a fate worse than death - rejection and a pulverized reputation.
I consider pro-abortion laws as they stand to be coercive to disadvantaged women, which is why so many more black babies have been aborted. Truly their numbers cannot be counted, given how many ended in the wombs of white moms.

I think you need to recheck those fact my poetess I beg to differ on your statement.
There are certain criteria that have been mandated for the African American race to assure we are less likely to abort our fetus than that of the Caucasian race.
You must remember that infamous Roe versus Wade, the law gave women that option to choose and not be subjugated to political interference of their choice
Now let's take a look from this at another approach.
African American females from the plantation fields have been taught to extend our generation, due to the point , families were separated, or sold off in slave sales, some young women were even impregnated by the whites master(s), and the child was carried until full conception, and yes, some were utilized as a catalyst for work and labor. Most of those young ones were in the fields as young as the age the age of five.
American Americans procreate at an alarming rate than Caucasian women, due to the fact, career planning foretells their creation, waiting until marriage, and major fertility setbacks or genetic medical conditions that would suggest the fetus be aborted before fulll term
Then you have Planned Parenthood, as an deterrence when it pertains to family planning offering several services; birth control pills, implantations, condoms, counseling.
And in some states medical Tubal ligation introduced by the Democratic parties to control the black population.
The Welfare system, was a helpful tool as well as out in place to demoralize and stigmatize the man out of the home, however, most blacks if became pregnant would continues to have there kids, and as some generations before than, get on welfare to receive the benefits or the supplements of WIC
Then you have the Morning After Pill... it is utilized primarily to abort any unwanted pregnancies and it is very popular among several college kids, or some military wives when the spouses are serving oversees.
There are several other key factors, to take into consideration as well.
If you have any statistics to add than what I submitted about please let me know

Thank you for the thoughtful response - but I’m confused.
Are you saying biracial children of disadvantaged white women are not aborted to conceal interracial relationships and fit expectations? Just from what I’ve seen with a few portrayals, the race of the child often played a factor in what deprived a biracial baby of life or mother/family.
And it’s not just white moms who have this issue. In Vietnam they had to rescue biracial babies that were born during the ten year war there at one point - just so they would not be murdered.
Being impregnated by another race has a precedent of stirring fear and violence for reasons I will never appreciate. But I want to stop those moms from having a greased path to annihilating their babies over discrimination.

My poetess I can only go by the above accounts of the inaccuracy of your statement, 'you presented'. Had you taken into consideration, to draw comparisons and then theorize your conclusion than what you stated, utilizing improper acknowledgment to convey without facts. I am certain this conversation, would have taken a different outcome of mutual engagement, however, thank you for the response, and good luck with the merit of your competition.
And just a wise annotate to take under advisement, never begin a question with, 'Are you saying', it tends to slow the progression of intellectual conversation that should proceed a point of making.

I’m not going to win any awards for the way I wrote. I apologize - I should have reread it but sometimes I have to actually be witnessed being dumb.
I’m definitely not trying to educate you about history but saying what seems to me self-apparent, that biracial children are at risk of discriminatory disadvantage in the womb.
If racism is real, then some mothers are facing pressure to abort over their child’s ethnic heritage. And with elective abortion, that’s a “secret” hate crime happening every day to hide reality.

Stop it...please... just because we differ on views does not make any one of us less wiser than the other.
That is what makes this world so fascinating we all have something to bring to the table, and a story that must be told.
My philosophy, my creed, whereas, I tend to adopt, the phrase, you reach one, you teach one; you are a mother from what I've read in passing, and I am sure you learn something new for your future generation everyday; therefore, we are never to old, to wise, or to unlearned not to be taught, the hard part alway comes in listening
In addition, your expressions of concerns are taking with reverence and regality my poetess .
Do enjoy your evening,

If the first mistake is an abortion, then what is the fourth and fifth trip to the clinic. We're just saying anyone can make a mistake but when does it stop being a mistake. Not pointing fingers or passing judgement everyone answers for self

I cannot answer from the first termination to the last. It’s a moral decision a woman must contend with. Sometimes in life, deaf ears speaks loudly for the silence of the mind. Thanks for reading and then adding your insightful comment. Have a great evening as well handsome.

It seems incongruous to "like" this piece...considering the topic, but you paint the experience vividly and help to make this ALL IMPORTANT issue "real", for those who don't understand it. As you may have read in the Abortion Forum, I am one of those who feels that a woman's body and decision is HER's ALONE TO MAKE! The suggestion that an government or religion seeks to abrogate that right is repugnant to me. Thank you for writing this work...I hope it helps readers to understand what you already know. -Ted

That is a positive way to look at this issue, and yes, the government does seem to govern a woman’s body from a political standpoint. Passing laws, without no real solutions, so they come up with the Morning After Pill, no real solution, because several doctors of Catholic based faith do not even prescribe it, which places a woman’s decision back to square one. If such measures have to be taken, let the mind of the one with the thought deal with their choice. I am sure, depending on the nature of the cause, it will be traumatic or eventual either way. Thanks for reading and giving me much to ponder. Have a great evening as well love.

Abortion has just become a lot tougher with a new judge just appointed in the Senate.
It's easy for others to say do this, do that, when it is not them that have to deal with the, frankly, mess.

Yes, along with key issues such as, abortion, affirmative action, gay rights and the death penalty. In addition, since Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, is guaranteed to be appointed due to Congress votes, he will be replacing Supreme Court Justice, Anthony Kennedy’s seat who was more liberal on some of those views than Kavanaugh more conservative nature. Thanks for reading and then commenting as well. Have a great evening.

Abortion should not be done unless it's a life and death situation or rape.
If you're having an abortion just because you were stupid enough to not be careful, or because you don't want to ruin your body
then you should suffer the consequences,
The life you now have in your belly is a living soul has a heart beat and more its murder to kill someone no matter how you look at it.
Sorry I'm strongly against abortions.

I do not know why I am just now seeing this, but yes, being a nurse, I cannot if I will ever have a valid opinion, one way or the other. In
That nursing oath comes with the validity of not being bias, whereas, no matter what a woman chose, it is her right, and as in my profession we have to respect it and do not judge it
Therefore, I wrote this from both sides of the equation.
Thank you reading and your honest input on such a sensitive manner.
Please enjoy your evening and have a blessed Monday
