Day 537, The New Supreme Court
The Federalist Society
Gave Donald Trump a list.
There isn’t much variety;
Their bias can’t be missed.
And from this list Brett Kavanaugh
Was picked by Trump last night.
There is no doubt he knows the law
And gives the Left a fright.
For Brett is a Conservative
And Roman Catholic man.
So, will he be preservative
Of an abortion ban?
Trump promised he would nominate
To cancel Roe v. Wade.
Since Roman Catholics dominate,
Most women’s nerves are frayed.
The issue: reproductive choice,
Abortion part of it.
(Approach with a constructive voice
And do not throw a fit.)
Is every holy embryo
Worth more than its mom’s life?
Should every shot of Cupid’s bow
Produce another life?
“The times, they are a’changin’” sang
The poet in a song.
Conservative alarm bells rang.
To such minds, change is wrong.
Should contraception be a sin?
That’s what Church dogma taught.
Remember, that’s a rule from men,
Defining women’s lot.
Should embryos with a disease
We don’t know how to treat,
Be forced to term just to appease
Old men and their conceit?
The Bible’s books were all composed
Some centuries ago,
A lot of rules and laws proposed,
Without facts we now know.
Now we know more and can do more,
Stop misery God could not.
What did God give us our brains for?
Should learning come to naught?
The gods did not anticipate
Our modern medicine.
Should old men get to arrogate
That birth control’s a sin?
