Right To Abort Hers Is Hers. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Consensual sex has been legalized;
Adultery has been decriminalized.
Wisdom of the judiciary has prevailed.
Sexual pleasure, god given, is granted.

People indulge in sex outside wedlock,
Or prior to wedlock from temptation.
Adolescent boys and girls fall from impulses.
There are cases out of sex abuses.

Accidental pregnancy is outcome.
Unintended pregnancy is aborted.
Out of stigma attached, women seek
Life risk raw means outside the hospitals.

To protect minors from sexual abuses
And rapes, the act has made provisions
To report to police about abortion
Made to adolescents in the hospitals.

Criminalization of abortion
Of adolescents obstructs the access
To the safe method in the hospital.
Girls seek life risk abortion and succumb.

Minor girls and sex abused women
Chose not hospital for abortion
And many die during rude abortion
Conducted by non-physicians outside.

Woman must have right to abort her child.
Be the cause any, one's life is the prime.
The Acts must suitably be amended
So that any can safely abort hers.
