The Way Things Are Now
(for all the women in my life)
A coat hanger
dripping with
blood.
A back alley
clinic
you can’t
trust
to be
sterile.
A women’s
Underground
Railroad.
The law doesn’t
stop anything—
it just makes it
more dangerous.
Abortion
is the ultimate
black market deal
when raped
11-year-old girls
can’t get an
legal exception
and the physician
is afraid to do the
operation.
