Discover the story of the song > Will the Fetus be Aborted – Mojo Nixon

The lyrics tell the stories of different women facing difficult choices about their pregnancies. Peggy Sue is pregnant and addicted to drugs, and is confronted by anti-abortion activists. Little Mary is only 11 years old and was raped by her father, and faces pressure to have the baby. Annie's pregnancy is life-threatening, but religious fundamentalists urge her to continue with the pregnancy. Kathy already has two children and chooses to have an abortion after seeing a bloody fetus. Tanya is a revolutionary who wants to overthrow the government and has multiple pregnancies, while Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative activist, approves. The lyrics question whether the fetus will be aborted, and suggest that there is a better place in the sky for them.
