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.
