women are supposed
to become invisible
around the time we
stop shopping the Tampax aisle
when we are no
longer vessels for babies,
preferably male and white
the Supreme Court leak,
or should I say flood,
heightens unease
anger courses through my veins
ignites a fire in my empty womb
I won’t crawl
in cavewoman attire
up the Capitol steps
draped in ignorance
armed with a gun
purchased at a box store
in a no name town
the keyboard is mightier
than the sword
and our weapon lies
between our ears
not our legs
we have marched for less
we have cried for less
yet together we burn bright
light the path for our daughters
never underestimate the
power of a pissed off
woman with nothing to lose
Sign and share Ms.’s relaunched “We Have Had Abortions” petition—whether you yourself have had an abortion, or simply stand in solidarity with those who have—to let the Supreme Court, Congress and the White House know: We will not give up the right to safe, legal, accessible abortion.
