pro life but not pro women
pro life but you care more about the unborn than the living
my body but I get no choice
limit my rights
take away my voice
you say you're pro life but what about us?
protect the child we carry but not us
love your women they say
but I'm not feeling very loved
we walk around wondering if we're being followed
terrified of men lurking around the corners
never knowing if they're going to hurt us
not all men, no
but I chose the bear over the chance
***** we're called when we have so many men
but what are they called when they have so many women?
nothing
they aren't not shamed
and we get all the blame
equal rights?
I do not see
I don't have rights to my body
pro life
but not pro living
not pro women
what about us?
open your eyes and think about what if it was a ****** assault?
does it matter to you then?
of course not
but if not then, when?
when will you care about this fear?
the fear we hold of men
the fear we hold of what they could do to us
not all men
no just the majority of them
it is our birth right to have uncomfortable experiences with men
it is our birth right to wonder if a man will hurt us
do you not see or do you not care?
yes pro life
but not pro women
they beat us and you ask what we did
like we deserved to be beat because of something we've done
so many men telling us what we can and can't do
I'm sick of it
what about you?
I'm tired of them being pro life but not pro women
how would they have children if not for us?
we are the ones creating life
and yet we don't get rights
they have the power
they have the control
the men we put in office speak of us and if we are objects
we have a voice
they just don't listen
yes I know not all men
just the ones we elect to let speak on our behalf
and they say pro life
they make us seem like villains for getting an abortion
but after SA don't we deserve that?
don't we deserve to not go through the pain of carrying our attackers kid?
to raise the kid and look in their eyes just to be reminded
what about when we can't afford to give that kid a good life?
no you don't care about them then
you want this child to be born in the world but you don't care what happens to them once they're in it
you want them to grow up and pay the government money
pro life?
no
they do not care about life
they don't care about us
they care about money
they care about power
pro life they say
but they are not pro life
they are not pro women
