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
