1864
Welcome ladies,
It is 1864 in Arizona
and
you have no rights to your bodies.
Unless,
of course,
you are going to die.
The Good ‘Ole Party of 2024
is
just fine with statutes from the 1800s.
Good,
wholesome
laws!
Family
values
laws!
Moral laws!
No legislative debate permitted
on an archaic law
that makes you a baby factory.
Because,
It is a good law.
Raped,
you will live
and carry a rapist’s child
Incest,
you will live
and carry your uncle’s child
Uncle,
cousin,
brother,
rapist
who’s to say?
Why didn’t you say no?
What were you wearing?
Maybe you were asking for it?
Trisomy 18
you will live to bury a child
at the expense
of the one you are already raising
Complications
will a judge
or
you and your doctor
decide your fate?
Now the point is moot.
You live in a theocracy
doctors can’t practice medicine,
at least where you live
Good luck with actual sex education
keep your knees together (slut)
Good luck accessing birth control (slut)
or
as we like to call it
in the developed world,
family planning.
Good luck finding an OBGYN
They left your state
they can’t practice medicine
without fear of going to jail.
Welcome,
ladies,
to Arizona in 2024.
The laws of 1864 still apply
thanks to the good ‘ole
GOP!
No rights
No education
No health care
No problem
Do your job
and
make some babies
or die trying.

you do know that poetry is a secret language for all to plainly see and not understand the language of the Stars or Fallen Angels there are children I've born in the spirit I have never seen in the flesh and one Star child who was the first and last of his kind was the one known as Lucifer while in my womb he saw telepathically into my mind and saw my visions of the future they scared him... when he was little we prepared that is all I will say I hope I will still recognize him when I see him again but I doubt his soul is scarred from this war... that's what your poem made me remember...

you're right about the present but another civil war is upon us in plain sight...there is nothing civil about war...there is no such thing as fair when fighting for your first born, for all your children's life..I've prepared and Lucifer is prepared I will not name those siding with us not to my human brain the masquerade is in session one will never know till it's too late...

Thank you for sharing this one. It’s such a valid and needed voice.
I wrote a line in my poem this morning “As women, it can often feel as if our choices lie between shitty and shittier” and I think that’s quite relevant here.
I just wish the world would wake up to the fact that we are individuals, and we need to do what’s best for us - our bodies, our minds and our futures. I wish that the world would just let people be individuals instead of pushing their own agendas on to people.
Appreciate the message in this. Thank you.

The only way that the Trumplicans can pretend to be the party of Lincoln is to go back to the 19th Century... they stopped being real conservatives a long time ago...
