What kind of women have abortions?

A simple question yet so intense, causing unrest in values and emotions

A simple answer yet so unsettling, causing deep thoughts on the reasons behind the motion

They might be mothers,

unable to bear the brunt of everything that comes with more

They might be students,

striving to meet their dreams and be something more

They could be young, just starting to figure life out

They could be old, with vast experience in trying things out

They might be survivors, finding a way to heal

They might be victors, emerging from a war with all their will

What kind of women have abortions you ask

Like there’s a profile to which they must fit

Like there’s a rope from which they must hang

The kind of women who have abortions are the ones we see when we look in the mirror,

Regular women, living everyday lives,

Making decisions based on reasons we may never know,

They are simply women,

Making reproductive health choices.
