A woman’s right to choose
should not be relative to
socioeconomic status
in the history of this country
where Black women
lived under slavery
under white men
in a white building
still tryin to tell em what to do
with their bodies.
And the Black man who’s supposed to get in their way?
He said, well, I ain’t happy about it.
And then he signed my uterus away.
