I took the test
It was positive
I knew what I had to do
But how... when it is illegal to do..
And who...
Who decided to dictate
What a woman
Could do to her own fate
Please, tell me who...
Who believed themselves better
Than a struggling woman
Having to choose to destroy a part of her
I beg you, tell me who...
Who condescended on the pain
Of an incapacitated, cramping, crying woman
Ejecting blood, tissue, a life in vain
I'll tell you who it wasn't
Certainly not the man
Who said 'let's keep it casual'
And walked away with no future plan
A woman torn and a child unborn
Is a story of intimate pain and private loss
Not a tale of judgement and scorn
Not a law for men to gloss and floss
