*Note: this poem speaks of the coercion and abuse of females by males due to the potential for impregnation and abandonment that might occur, in order to comment on abortion rights being struck down in the United States. In no way do the authors infer that such force, coercion and abuse is solely carried out by males on females. We acknowledge that all genders are capable of abusing any gender.
