No exception for rape
when Roe is overturned
should be no surprise.
The whole point is
the sanctity of life.
Except for women,
whose lives
are not their own.
They belong to men.
To use.
To direct.
To control.
And of course,
to rape.
To quiet.
To destroy.
It is a state’s right,
don’t you know?
One human right
is no better than another
if men
cannot have their way.
Exceptions have no place
in the religious right’s mind.
Religion itself is at risk.
Do you think the right
stops here
when a woman’s rights
are destroyed ?
Whose religion has a say?
Not mine, nor yours.
This is no longer a nation
of laws and not men.
Law has been destroyed
by men whose religion
of male superiority holds sway
on our Supreme Court,
and finds support by women
selling out other women
to please men, or male gods
whose love is no longer Supreme.
A god whose love
is no longer on display.
And men are soon free
to act with racial superiority.
For certainly,
once woman’s right to be
in control of her life is stolen.
Other lives are also at risk.
Sad day for me
to learn law has been supplanted,
dismantled, denied and destroyed.
