Raising Arizona

Figuratively 

speaking…

dropping acid

on women

seems 

to be

the new

altered state.

Swallowing

the acrid 

pill

of swill

against 

the will,

now of Arizonan

people,

is despicable

yet

predictable. 

When 

a miscarriage

of justice

over miscarriage

of pregnancy

and anything

other than

unassisted

birth 

or conception

is conceived

as pro

life,

we know

it’s a lie.

Letting

women die

gets a sigh

on the court,

while citing

precedence

in the Comstock

Act

that preceded

the last

century.

The South 

has risen

again,

using 

the states’

rights

excuse

to abuse

others.

Now

the canyon

is grand—

more than

they planned—

between

those who

understand

the demand

and need

for reproductive

health

and the destructive

power

that has risen

in Arizona.
