Lauren Zuniga, To the Oklahoma Lawmakers: a poem

Lauren Zuniga performs a poem for the Oklahoma legislators that continually propose anti-choice legislation. The bill referred to here would require women to receive an ultrasound and listen to the baby's heartbeat before an abortion. It is still being challenged in court. Since 2010, various other bills including, "No Fetus in Food" and "Personhood" have been introduced as a way to circumvent Roe V. Wade and shame women. View more poems at http://laurenzuniga.com

Right now in Tampa Florida Republicans are gathered in a giant pep rally whose major goal is to kick people into the streets of america without access to food, clothing, shelter, health care or sanitation. There are at least a million U.S. citizens homeless already.

And they have the temerity, the vile lie, the unabashed hypocrisy, to call themselves "pro-life."

[singerg02]

Pro-Lifers who don't give a shit about children after they're born are NOT Pro-Life. They're Pro-Birth. Learn the difference!

[ValorMonEl]

What If they killed the parents and save the child? Would that solve the problem! Of over population it would. And maybe the child would grow up to be better than the parents. Or at least wiser! It's a thought!

[Caroline Deiley]

This is beautifully said.

[Austin Pippin]

I think at least 100 of these views are mine i watch it over and over

[shamantrainer]

they really are. they support killing children in the womb but god forbid one gets clipped a year or so later. Im glad you see it too.

[Melliflu0usGirl]

Wow, confused much?

[shamantrainer]

the temerity!!! how could you support one thing and be against abortion at the same time!? thats like, super temerity lies!

[Chuck E. Jesus]

Ramen, Panglinx! ...and most call themselves Christians. Jesus would be ashamed...

[Chuck E. Jesus]

ChynnaBlue...yesss!

[shamantrainer]

actually i want all of them killed.

[shamantrainer]

not by much if at all. Look, I dont care. If you want to murder your kids im glad that you wont reproduce. Thats the whole point of abortion, to keep the inferior in society from overpopulating. Thats why mainly minorities get them and thats why it needs to be debated as "medicine". But im not going to sit here and split hairs and pretend like theres some football player rape epidemic effecting white upper class teens and that a fetus isnt human. Murder on I say.
