turn it off . . .
bombings here . . .
there . . .
every fucking where . . .
men in blue . . .
harass, tase, shoot . . .
fearing the unknown . . .
so eliminate . . .
one wrong done . . .
don’t make another right . . .
blood, blood of blue . . .
living lives . . .
are lives that die . . .
black lives . . .
all lives . . .
by any means . . .
peaceful discord . . .
how many decades . . .
how many centuries . . .
what year is this . . .
hate me, love me . . .
the color of my skin . . .
black or white . . .
blindly I see hate . . . I search for peace…
I don’t do politics. Politics is ugly. Especially this election, yeesh. It seems, that one of the major divisive talking points is the pro-choice vs pro-life argument.

What happens when this child you fought to be born needs routine well checks and immunizations and their parents need help affording it? What happens when the child turns out to have more complex medical needs like Down Syndrome, congenital heart defect, or osteogenesis imperfecta? Are you supporting programs like Medicaid? Are you supporting or contributing to local doctors who provide free or reduced services for low income families? You should be. Access to healthcare greatly increases one’s quality of life. And you said you were pro life.
What happens when this child you fought to be born grows into a toddler…
