If you can't tell from my poem, I happen to be pro-choice. If you are reading this, keep in mind I use punctuation and the form of poem precisely; every placement is exact.
21 lines, without counting spaces between stanzas. No words spelled wrong, as far as I know.

i honestly really loved reading this
it's freaking amazing
not just the writing but also it means not everyone in the world is stupid
thank you for writing this seriously i was beginning to lose my faith in humanity.

I assume you mean "pro choice" for the mother and not "pro choice" for the baby. Why don't you just call it "pro-death for prenatal blobs kicking in my stomach that I don't have the guts to call a baby"? Seems like that would make everybody happy. Daddy, Junior and Spook are not happy with you right now!

Daddy, Junior, and Spook have never been particularly happy with me. Thanks for your comment on this poem and others. I will get around to reading those poems you linked in the comments. I am pleasantly surprised by the applause.

Even if I don't quite agree with your thoughts, I like the way that you wrote this. I enjoy the exactness, the thought involved in it. The title is very fitting for your view point and the meaning of the poem. Good job.
