oh higher power
who-ever you are...
i know you are up there
please look down on us and see what our president
george w. bush is doing to this country, to this world
and to us...american women...
please note that he has just taken the first step
to taking away a woman's freedom
and her doctor's freedom
of choice
in the case of abortion
regardless of whether or not it may save her life
regardless of whether or not she was raped
regardless of whether or not
she has severe emotional
and physical reasons why this can not continue
i beg of you oh higher power
please reach down
into this realm
and transform
the young son of the other bush
bush senior
also a real jack-ass as you may recall
please reach down
and transform young dubya
the baby boy
the not so bright
the slightly
well shall we say special...child
please transform him
into a woman
into a pregnant woman
into a pregnant woman
who was inpregnated by the brutal rape
of an HIV postive criminal
please inform the lady bush
that her baby and she are also HIV positive
please inform the lady bush
that giving birth
may be life threatening to her
and that her childs chances of not being severely damaged
are minimal
please then inform the lady bush
that according to a new law
our president is pushing thru
she can not abort
and no doctor will help her
then give her the phone number
for an illegal
back-waters doctor in Misssissippi
who might take her
in the back door
then send the lady bush to that doctor
let her see the blood on his apron
the un-clean utensils
the lack of a nurse
the lack of credentials on the wall
and as she lies down
about to face what could be her last moment on earth
whisper in her ear
you did this my dear
you did this when you were a man
and cared about as much for the rights of a woman
as you did for the gum under your right shoe
