Hey Sister!
It's Not Your Body
Hey sister! Listen up baby.
A bunch of middle aged men want you to get your ass in the kitchen, kick
off your shoes and get pregnant. No, they don't care which one of
those actions you do first. They just slapped you up the side
of your rights. Can you feel the sting? Well you will, and
it's a hurt that's gonna keep on hurtin'. It's gonna hurt you and
all your sisters too. It's gonna hurt your girl babies and your
boy babies. You see, if you get pregnant, and near the end of the
term something happens that will put your life in jeopardy during
child birth..........well sister, you're dead. If during the
latter term of your pregnancy your baby is determined to be sadly mal
developed and will never have any quality of life, you will deal
with that because you have no choice, no choice for you or your
baby, baby. No! Hell no, you do not get a say in this.
Your husband and your doctor do not get a say in this. This damned
decision has already been made by some middle aged men who don't even
have a clue about your condition. They smiled so big and they
said, "Hey we run this show and we run it in accordance with a
bunch of religious folks. We don't even know you or your baby or
your condition, but we sure as hell know what we want you to do.
Yes woman, we are putting you back where you belong so get back
there now! Get back right now! Go backward baby, go back to
the way it used to be and don't give me any of your sass! You
mess with us and we'll take back your vote too! We aren't kidding,
we can do it and we just might, unless you shut the hell up. "
Hey Sister! There's a new
sheriff in town and he's in charge of running your life, patrolling your
body, and making new laws. He's a bad ass sheriff. He's
just told you that he will be in your doctor's office with you and he
will have his new stinking law grasped tightly in his mighty right hand.
He's already decided that he and his almighty posse will take it from
here. The almighty posse is going to pat him on his
despicable back while you're crying and crying and crying. Yes
siree, just that new sheriff and that mighty posse. They are
so god almighty fine. So god almighty fine. But sister you and I
aren't so god almighty fine. We're in a big
puddle of bad news.
Hey sister, You better watch out
baby, because they will be coming back, these men with their Lord in
tow. Oh yeah, bet your sweet private ass they're coming back, and
when they do they're gonna slap you again, but this time it will leave
an ugly scar. This time it's gonna be even worse. They are
not only gonna patrol your body, they're gonna own it. Yes, that's
right, they will own your body. They will decide that if you
have the pleasure, you have to bear the pain. They're coming back
to tell you that you cannot choose, because you aren't capable of
deciding how you want to live your own life. They're not
gonna whisper, they're gonna shout at you and tell you NO, IT'S OVER,
YOU'RE OUT! They don't care a damn about you, but they go friggin
bananas over that embryo you have hidden in there. Your rights are
the right to obey the damned sheriff. That's all you better do or
else he could put you and your doctor in the local hoosegow.
Hey sister! You know what
they really want? They want to tell you what you can do with your
body, with your life and with your death. Didn't you hear sister?
Didn't you hear that God retired and turned everything over to men.
Yeah, he sure did. When you pray, just say those sweet prayers to
those nasty old men who made a law that tells you what to do.
Remember that! If you thought that you and your God were gonna
decide what was best for you, well sweetie, it's time to update that
thought process. We don't know if God actually retired or if he
was asked to step down. All we know is that these old men have
taken over running the show. Remember how God used to give you
little hints about what was right or wrong, but in the end He would
always let you decide? Honey, those days are gone. Those
days have been taken and flicked in the garbage. No more
wondering, you don't need to wonder, just read the law.
Hey sister! Do you know why
this happened? It happened because a whole bunch of people have
nice shiny clean brains. How do I know that? I'll tell you
how I know. They have clean brains because they have been
washed. Washed away was the common sense, washed away was
responsibility and washed away was self pride. It's all been
washed away and since those people don't use their brains that much
anyway, they won't get all messy with original ideas and junk like that.
Once a brain has been washed all nice and clean it's very easy to
maneuver. A clean brain is what those nasty old men like.
They use clean brains to create dirty thoughts. It's easy baby,
real easy!
Remember sweet thing, life doesn't
come with batteries included. If we don't add the batteries
someone else will.
Hey sister! Don't shake your
head at me! Don't you walk away! Turn around and listen. Think
baby, think! This is getting real bad. Stuff is
happening that will make you have nightmares. It's bad now, but it
can get so much worse. Remember whose life we're talking about
here. Remember whose body we're talking about here. No it
isn't your life, no it isn't your body. Not anymore sister! Not
anymore!
