The kids heard the sound
Looking all around
Suddenly blood on the ground
Time to make a change
She’s only seventeen
But I’m listening
Time to make a change
Her best friend died
She was buried today
Only sixteen
All the screams
Will last her time here
She’s not going anywhere
Listen to what they say
Because they were there
And will have to remember
Forever

Abortion Tragedies and a Georgia Victory

Grassroots organizations filed a lawsuit against Georgia's cruel abortion laws, and the county judge took a firm stand on the side of justice, writing in his ruling that “liberty in Georgia" includes "the power of a woman to control her own body . . . and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices.”
