Life, death, women, body, freedom, choice, rights, religion, politics.

The hope that these fragments of words will unite into a meaningful discourse continues to burn in those who long to make decisions for themselves and their own bodies.

On the stage of Western society, this contradiction performs an awkward dance to the off-key tune of a chorus that stubbornly denies rights that should be inalienable. Meanwhile, the voices of women—the unique and true protagonists—continue to rise, even at the cost of losing their voices. And they will not stop.
