Abort

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Four people walk in
  but only two come out

One girl
  walks in
with the spawn 
 of her father
the other
 the result
of a drunken night's
  stuper

she can't bring
  this sort of child
into the world

she still wants
 to fit
into her size fives

two lives
  stop
because of sterilized devices
instead 
  of four
 by someone just guessing

decisions
  of where one life stops
and the other begins
where's the invisable line
  between the endometrium
and fetus

what's life?

Reason for writing:

    Honestly, I still don't know which side I stand on, but I guess if a right answer was so obvious, it wouldn't be controversial.
