According to Joe

Joe Gedan

She's only for some women's rights

McCain chose a female voice.

But ladies, let's not rejoice.

She has conceived a plan

For an abortion ban

Which takes away your private choice.

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
