Seals and Crofts were devout followers of their chosen faith and insisted that they be given time after each concert to speak to interested fans about Baha'i. Dash Crofts' wife's sister wrote a poem after viewing a documentary on abortion, which Jim Seals put to music. The result was an anti-abortion song called "Unborn Child", written from the view point of the fetus. Against the advice of Warner Brothers Records, the duo used the title for their 1974 album, which rose to number 14, but the single stalled at #66. The song also brought out many pro-choice and anti-abortion demonstrations to their concerts.

...gleaned from the internet. I knew I had read about it somewhere.

I never knew that about Seals & Crofts! Wow, that’s really interesting. Brave of them for their ERA/Roe/militant women’s lib time. (I don’t know, what is as bad in England in the 70’s?)
