Powerful poetry slam piece on choice, rape and personhood

Personhood, Lauren Zuniga’s 2012 performance at the Urbana Poetry Slam, is a powerful piece about choice, social justice, reproductive rights, and rape [TW]. Set against the backdrop of Rick Santorum’s remarks on rape (calling pregnancies arising from rape a “gift from God”), the performance tries to bridge the gap between Zuniga’s life and beliefs and her conservative grandfather’s staunch opposition to choice on abortion.
