For Chew Lin

[nyankoframe]

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The philosophy is quite simple.
Our state should only intervene
When it's stopping people damaging other people;
It's not for the state to tell us how to live our own lives.

And Ladies and Gentlemen,
The history of the state in the 20th Century (sit down)
Has been the history of the state
Holding back from making our day-to-day decisions for us.

We no longer accept that the state can tell us
When to marry, Who to marry,
When to divorce, If we can divorce, If we can have an abortion.
We accept that women have control over their own bodies
When it comes to reproduction;
We argue that we should have control over our bodies, full stop.
- Andy Hume, Stellenbosch WUDC
