Lady Saw singt über INFERTILITY im Dancehall-Reggae-Style
Ihr VIDEO
„Leben dient ihr stets als Inspirationsquelle für ihre Musik. Oftmals wird sie, die nach mehreren Fehlgeburten keine leiblichen Kinder hat, deswegen geschmäht. Für ihr 2007 erscheinendes Album "Walk Out", nach eigenen Abgaben das letzte für VP Records, schlägt die dreifache Adoptivmutter zurück und macht ihre Unfruchtbarkeit zum Thema:
Mit "No Less Than A Woman" will sie Frauen in einer ähnlichen Situation Mut machen und gesteht gleichzeitig offen und emotional ihre Verletzlichkeit ein.“

„ In dem sehr persönlichen Stück verarbeitet sie die bittere Erfahrung, dass unfruchtbare Frauen in ihrem Kulturkreis oft nicht als vollwertige Frauen akzeptiert werden, aber "not having a child don't make me any less than a woman". Indes hat sie drei Adoptivkinder.“ ( wikipedia)
sie singt, dass Frauen gleichwertig sind, trotz Unfruchtbarkeit, trotz Kindersehnsucht
( und trotz der Option für sie selbst eine KB zu machen sagt sie in einem Interview !)
...das Lied ist weder Jammer- noch Opfer-von Irgendwas-Song sondern ein persönliches Zeugnis und Forderung nach mehr Verständnis und Gleichwertigkeit!

]No Less Than a Woman (Infertility)
Infertility is a word that a lot of people are ashamed to mention, a lot of people are so illiterate when it come to that word. They act as if it's a crime if you can't have a child. But I don't think so, I don't have a child, I may one day. But in the mean time I am going to share all my love.
Chorus:
Not having a child don't make me less than a woman, you see I got so much love to give, to so much unwanted kids, you can say all you want about me trying to ruin my reputation, but I have so much love to give to so much unwanted kids, listen to my song.
I may not know the joy of giving birth, may not experience the pain and all the hurt, but I know how it feels to lose a child, and if pain is pain then I am hurting inside. If infertility makes me less than a girl, what would I say to many women in this world. Would you tell them have faith, would you tell them be strong or would you tell them that they're less than a woman?
Chorus
I would give anything to have a child of my own but in the meantime let me share my happy home with the less fortunate, take away some of the stress from a child who has never known love and happiness. Miscarriages remind me of baby carriages. Broken hearts bring failed marriages, the pain never go away, we try to keep them at bay. Oh I wish if my baby could have stayed.
Chorus
Some people have kids and wish them never did, some kids grew up hating the life weh them live, some have it easy, some have it hard, some mothers abandon dem pickney like dawg. But wanti wanti dem can't get it and getti getti get and run weh lef eeh. Me nuh have none so you know me will take eeh me have a lot of love so send me little pickney on.
Chorus
You see, what I am saying is this song is dedicated to all the females who have been trying to have children but never succeed. Some have miscarriage just like myself, but you know what, don't give up, have faith, one day you may just succeed. You know what I'm saying, and don't feel you are less than a woman because you don't have a child 'cause once you give you love to other children that come. You know what I'm saying.“
