I'm Too Dirt Poor

I'm too dirt poor

But not been raped

It's too my choice

To try escape

The bill's in court

And should have passed

The Vazquez veto

Breathed its last

With three-fifths more

For women's rights

And fewer kids

In dire plights

But Church is calling

For my soul

Eternal damned

Is the toll

To live on earth

The child must die

But if it did 

Then so would I

The rulers rage

And I just wait

My belly grows

My twelve-week fate

I soon will know

But if my cause

Should this time fail

It will not pause

The world is moving

On my side

And soon my country

Will decide

To raise a child

I'm too dirt poor

Disclaimer: I am in no way advocating abortion.  I saw this article on BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7724125.stm) and tried to imagine what a woman wanting an abortion in Uruguay right now is feeling.
