EXCERPT:
You always taught me right from wrong“ICICLE MELTS” BY THE CRANBERRIES
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart

But I made up my mind, I’m keeping my baby

EXCERPT:
How, how could you hurt the child,“SLIDE” BY THE GOO GOO DOLLS
How could you hurt the child?
Now, does this make you satisfied,
Satisfied, satisfied?

There’s a place for the baby that died,
And there’s time for the mother who cried.

And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away

Stop a baby’s breath and a shoe full of rice
Do you know a lyric that has given you pause to wonder if the singer was meaning to be pro-life?
