Is it right for a woman to have an abortion? In America, we live in a society that any woman has the choice to abort or keep her child. Although some woman make the choice to have an abortion for what every circumstances they are in, aborting a child does not mean that woman is happy with her decisions or feels no guilt. In the poem “the mother” by Gwendolyn brooks tell a story of just that , all though she aborted her children this doesn’t mean she is not a mother or not to have loved her unborn children.
As Gwendolyn Brooks wrote this poem decades ago the messages she Intel 's still touches many women close to the heart, to think that abortions are still so popular but today society has come to accept abortions more than ever when once abortions …show more content…
The narrator also mentions things she will never get to experience with her unborn children, the things she will miss out on as being a mother, not being able to experience the joys of mother hood “You will never wind up the sucking-thumb” and she also speaks about not being able to protect them from there nightmares or something that may frighten them. “Scuttle off ghost that come.” .The poem then changes after the first stance to the first person, the narrator speaking of herself, making it clear that that this is from personal experience.” I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed children I have contracted you.” Clearly the choice of abortion continues to haunt her with guilt.

All and all this poem was to tell a story and make people aware of the struggle that is faced after a woman is to have an abortion, from personal experience we hear the pain and guilt that will be forever remembered and haunt her for the rest of her life .

I think the morally of this poem may to be to make people aware but also to not judge
