Two Painful Highways

Republicans are like dogs who like chasing cars all day
But find out if they catch one things do not then go their way
Because if they manage to snag a bumper in their jaws
They find themselves dragged painfully down streets that their skin claws.

Extending this analogy not too out of proportion

Leads us to the situation faced due to abortion:

When the Republican-stacked Supreme Court overturned Roe

They little realized how painfully down hard roads they’d go.

Along hard roads they’re being dragged due to their obstinate

Stance against abortion which they thought would be a hit

They’re dragged on two rough surfaces, one that physically

Has led to more abortions than before Roe ceased to be.

U.S. abortion numbers since no Roe are on the rise

Which is the exact opposite of the intended prize

Republicans thought they’d achieve by overturning Roe

Thus proving when dogs catch cars along painful roads they go.

Hard surface two down which Republican dogs have been dragged

Since the no Roe car they thought they had caught their asses snagged

Is political due to their smug minority 

Imposing its values on our land’s majority.

When most voters want nought to do with what on them’s been forced

It isn’t long before those who impose find they’re divorced

From the votes needed to keep on imposing their will

And thus the caught dog they’ve become gets dragged off of the Hill.

Since the dog caught no Roe’s car things for it haven’t gone

As intended, instead it is being dragged along

Two painful highways, one towards a future much in doubt

The other away from what no Roe had been all about.
