I truly wonder why "Bodies" hs not been co-opted as the anthem of the modern anti-abortion movement.

No banal hymn or protest song can match "She was a girl from Birmingham / She just had an abortion".

(although "Brick" by Ben Folds is my perosnal favorite of an admittedly dreary genre)

You're right. The lyrics to 'Bodies' are brutal and honest. A no holds barred description of the horrors of abortion.

She was a girl from Birmingham, she just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity, her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree
She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace

Body, I'm not an animal
Body, I'm not an animal

Dragged on a table in a factory
Illigitimate place to be
In a package in a lavatory
Die little baby, screaming
Screaming, ******* bloody mess

I'm not an animal
It's an abortion

Body, I'm not an animal
Mommy, I'm an abortion

Throbbing squirm
Gurgling bloody mess
I'm not a discharge, I'm not a throbbing squirm
I'm not a loss in protein, I'm not a throbbing squirm

**** this, and **** that
**** it all and **** the ******* brat
she don't want a baby that looks like that
I don't want a baby that looks like that

Body, I'm not an animal
Body, I'm not an animal
Mommy!
