00:00Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.
00:06Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
00:11This song is about taking control.
00:14Your life, your choice.
00:16Don't go with the flow.
00:18You're in charge of your boat.
00:20You've got your hands on the oars.
00:22Or, this song is different.
00:24Because you're a woman.
00:26Row, row, row, beway.
00:28It's about control over your body.
00:30Pro-life, pro-choice.
00:32Two extremes in the same American boat.
00:35Except boats are named after women.
00:37And ours was capsized, overturned.
00:39Despite our boat taking centuries to build.
00:42And having held us for half of one.
00:44Now you are expected to do the holding.
00:46A woman's arms.
00:48Expected to cradle an unwanted child, gently down the stream.
00:55But no stream is always gentle.
00:58In a storm, it can be raining cats and dogs.
01:01But the raining men are the real animals.
01:03Women have always braved troubled waters.
01:06And can't seem to catch a break.
01:08It should be her choice if her water breaks.
01:10Merrily, merrily, merrily, married.
01:13Tying a knot isn't enough for men.
01:15They still want to tie a woman up in legalities.
01:18Tie her, tie her, deny her, her own body.
01:22If life-giving DNA is that important to men.
01:25You'd think they'd have learned to not be dicks.
01:27Life is but a dream.
01:29But who dreams of a life like this?
01:32Where an automatic gun receives more legal protection
01:36than a woman who wants autonomy.
01:43Women are the life-givers.
01:45Just like rivers, fountains, wells.
01:47Offsprings, men assailing women.
01:49Setting sail sets a monstrous precedent for this country.
01:53Without legal protection,
01:55what do men think will happen in the land of the free?
01:58Home of the women.
02:00Home of the women who have braved the monster claw of a clothes hanger.
02:05To remove the proto-life they do not have room in their life for.
02:09Women can't row a boat when the hands on the oars are not our own.
02:13Women can't wade through the waters and arrive safely on the other side.
02:17The flow is flawed, boats been overturned,
02:19and only infant life jackets are available.
02:28Row, row, row the way.
02:31Broadcasted live streams.
02:34Merrily, merrily, merrily married.
02:38Life, a stolen dream.
