The precedent’s been made
By Roe v Wade
The question now
Is can it be saved?
Or must women once again
Become enslaved
From the womb to their grave
By laws primarily man made?

Now here’s the latest news
About a woman’s right to choose
Which believe you me
Is about to be abused
By a court of nine
Six of whom will redefine
What should be plain to see
How many weeks constitutes viability?

With abortions all but banned
By the Supreme Court’s heavy hand
The poor will be on their own
Caught up in the Twilight Zone
When it comes to having babies
There’s no if ands buts or maybes
Can’t you hear ‘em pleading
Someone save me?

If Conservatives get their wishes
Roe v Wade rests with the fishes
Never to be heard from again
To the satisfaction of some men
Who have no skin in the game
But want to weigh in just the same
I just hope women remember
In the mid-terms come next November
