“Now experts say it’s possible the Supreme Court could reverse the landmark ruling that legalised abortion nationwide in America more than 40 years ago.”—ABC News [Australia]

So, we’ll bet no more on Rovie,
For years a legal right;
The Court has long been mauvey;
It’s looking red tonight.

For a law’s good health depends
On favor more than truth,
And Rovie has few friends
But Elena, Sonia, Ruth;

And though they’re holding steady,
I’m very much afraid
That the tide has turned already.
Watch poor Rovie wade.
