SCOTUS 6/24/22
Only the beginning.
Full citizenship lost
Without control over
Our own bodies.
The voters against us
Will never be 11 or 12-year-old girls
Not fully developed enough
To carry and deliver safely.
Will never be a victim forced
To deliver a rapist’s baby.
Trauma extended through a lifetime.
Without relief.
What might be next?
Back to a time when
A woman couldn’t get a credit card?
A woman couldn’t own property
In her own name?
A woman couldn’t vote?
Biology is not everything.
What might be next?
When will they come for
A right you cherish?
(c) 2022 Victoria Lague
