This is a letter
To the six Grim Reapers of the Supreme Court:
You know who you are
And we know who you support.
/
You turned America back 50 years
And you plan to go farther.
Y'all are getting vacations and expensive gifts,
While Americans are told to work harder.
/
You signed on the dotted line
With the blood of the women doomed to die
Due to your goddamn crusader agenda
Insisting that it's all pro-life.
/
I'll paint a picture
Of what America will be like decades from now
If tyrants like you
Are allowed to stick around:
/
Children will be born to women
Who can't take care of them.
The foster system will overflow
And kids will be abandoned.
/
It will become a common sight
To see babies in garbage bins
And in boxes left outside hospitals
And firehouses and police stations.
/
More women will die
From back-alley botched abortions.
They'll die from ectopic pregnancies
And toxic shock infections.
/
Schools will be overtaxed
With the huge amount of children.
Too many kids, not enough love -
That'll be the next epidemic.
/
Child abuse will be rampant
With not enough social workers to handle it
Neurodivergent kids will be pushed aside
And ostracized as delinquents.
/
This has happened before
And it'll happen again.
Ever heard of the 1989 revolution
From the fed-up Romanians?
/
When Nicolae Ceausescu was president,
He enacted a decree,
Making abortion and birth control illegal,
Stressing importance of the nuclear family.
/
The children born of the decree
Grew up to see hardship and oppression of their parents
They rose up in rebellion against Ceausescu
And overthrew the Romanian government.
/
Just think about that
When you're signing our rights away.
The children you're forcing into the world
Could topple your empire one day.
