Top Ten Songs About Abortion: Pro-Life Edition
There’s a common misconception that anti-abortion folks are all right-wing Christians who protest by bombing clinics. Wrong. They’re also singers (NOTE THE SARCASM). Rappers, reggae, heavy metal, folk, R&B, gansta rappers, you name it. And a few have written some fairly decent songs (while others have penned lousy songs that didn’t make the list.) Taking into account only how good the song sounds, here are the Top Ten Songs About Abortion: Pro-Life Edition.
