WILL THE FETUS BE ABORTED?

Words by Darryl Cherney & Judi Bari

Tune: Will the Circle be Unbroken?

(G) Betty Lou she got pregnant

But was ad-(C) dicted to 15 (G) drugs

She went down to the abortion clinic

And was accosted by (D) right wing (G) thugs

Chorus:

Oh will the (G) fetus be aborted

By and (C) by Lord, by and (G) by

There's a better home a-waiting

In the sky, lord, (D) in the (G) sky

Little Mary was just 11

And she was raped by her own dad

Danny Quayle said have that baby

But another choice she had

Annie's pregnancy would kill her

The doctor's warning gave her strife

Fundamentalists said "Jesus take her"

She said I want my right to life

Brigit had two kids already

And an abortion is what she chose

Christians showed her a bloody fetus

She said "That's fine, I'll have one of those!"

Tanya lived for revolution

Wanted to overthrow the state

She had 15 commie babies

Phyllis Schlaffley ain't that great

Randall Terry hated abortion

But for a peaceful end he searched

He said we'll never bomb your clinic

We said we'll never bomb your church

There's so many starving children

And living in the streets is tough

There's 5 billion of us already

Don't you think that it's enough
