Pro Choice Poem Quotes

“It is not patriarchal to hold the door for a lady, It is not cowardly to leave your seat to the elderly. But it is barbaric to harass a breastfeeding mother, And prehistoric to force a woman carry a pregnancy.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Esperanza Impossible: 100 Sonnets of Ethics, Engineering & Existence

“Motherless Motherhood (The Sonnet)

To take choice out of pregnancy,
Is to take the mother out of motherhood.
If childbirth isn't the mother's will,
Who the hell is state to make the rule!
State is a servant of the people,
Church is a servant of the people.
When they claim to be guardian supreme,
People must stand to spoil their gamble.
To take choice out of democracy,
Is to take citizens out of government.
But to take bigotry out of politics,
Is to take politics out of the state.
A society that equates woman with womb,
Is a society headed for its own tomb.”
