Women’s Rights

A zygote is a person
you say  
In or out of the womb
God’s creation  
you decree  
So has rights!
Already a person
Until they are born
[a woman]
then  
rights dissolve
[because its a woman]
A woman’s rights are now  
dictated  
by
another’s religion  
 
Rapist’s conceptions  
have more rights
[than the woman]
A fetus that won’t live  
has more rights
[than the woman]
A baby, dying in the womb
has more rights  
[than the woman who grieves and may die for the life lost]
 
A baby conceived  
because  
an employer’s religion denies birth control  
Has more rights  
[than the woman]
A pharmacist denies emergency contraception because of their beliefs  
Give them more rights  
[than the woman]
Parents that object to meaningful sex education  
Have more more rights  
[than the woman who needs sex education]
 
A woman who made a mistake
[sluts don’t have rights]
A condom broke  
god’s will  
[overrides the rights of the woman]
 
Once you had rights  
then  
you were born  
a woman.
