Women Deserve Better
When Choice USA interviewed Sonya Renee about this spoken work piece in 2004, this is what she had to say:
How did your poem “What We Deserve” come about?
Initially I wrote the poem in response to a new advertising campaign running on the DC metro transportation services called women deserve better than abortion. I was just baffled that someone had spent so much money on that campaign when they could have put it into social services they claim are lacking. When I found out about the work that Choice USA is doing and saw their commitment to the full range of reproductive rights for women, I decided I wanted to dedicate the poem to Choice USA.
This woman is phenomenal and her spoken has moved all of us. Is it possible to watch this without getting the chills!? Thank you Sonya.
