i want to talk about media distortion
ad campaign telling lies about abortion
standing there call yourself a good christian
break your fucking sign ‘cos you’re causing me friction
ignorant group operation rescue
if you treat women then they might even kill you
randall terry says they’re soldiers of god
if you ask me i’d say they’re smoking much prod
a little advice for the medical student
they’re teaching cowardice not medical prudence
lobbying pressure from the a.m.a. cracker
don’t treat women and you call yourself a doctor
standing in line slime with no sense
two can play at that game start clinic defence
yelling over me showing patients no respect
break for the lane get an elbow in your neck

if you don’t want a nazi in your house don’t let one
don’t know a fundamentalist ’til you’ve met one
if you’ve memorised your civil rights don’t forget one
if you don’t want an abortion don’t get one

marching with your cross and your dead fetus picture
don’t let me see you or i’ll jam it up your sphincter
lucky that i find violence so heinous
but my wife and her friends’ll put a foot in your anus
confused sad woman kill apologising
sad fucking bible still memorising
had to make a choice between god and her sisters
you imitate your oppressor so you dissed her
even though you told me you had the procedure
just ‘cos you’re rich and you’re white that freed you
from the consequence of a child out of wedlock
from the family shame at the congregation potluck
crazy pregnant woman citing her religion
the baby’s going to die without cesarean section
i won’t support scientific intervention
give her the freedom to deal with her actions…
