Women,
step up to your place
as bounty hunters,
claim your $10,000 reward.
Grab your knitting needles,
pinking shears and nail files.
Maim, castrate or, if need be, kill,
at your discretion, each man
who approaches you in a
manner indicating he intends to engage
any of your body parts.
Remember,
you will be preventing abortion
at its conception—
where it starts.
