Jackson isn’t the first recording artist to explore the controversial subject of abortion in song. It has also surfaced in the work of Neil Young, Madonna, Sinead O’Connor, and Lauryn Hill, among others. In “Abortion Papers,” Jackson approaches the matter carefully (and ambiguously): rather than presenting a dogmatic political perspective, he personalizes it through the story of a conflicted girl raised in a deeply religious home and her Bible-admonishing father. In his notes for the track, Jackson wrote, “I have to do it in a way so I don’t offend girls who have gotten abortions or bring back guilt trips so it has to be done carefully…. I have to really think about it.”

There had been some talk among Abortioneers in the past about dating and relationships, and how an anti-choice position would be a dealbreaker among potential mates.

Noting this was “a glimpse into the heart of a self-conscious abortion worker,” Lila Rose of LiveAction.org forwarded a link last night to the following post at The Abortioneers blog. Lila added, “Pray for this woman and the many like her. It is strange – she seems to know what she does.” This worker’s feelings […]

By Placenta Sandwich at The Abortioneers blog today (bold highlight his/hers): One thing I have heard, and said myself, in the course of financial counseling is, “If you can’t borrow money for an abortion, can you maybe borrow money by saying that it’s for something else?” Not just for husbands, but also when women (understandably) […]

… So goes the title of a December 1 post at The Abortioneers blog. And in making his pitch to spread a little financial holiday cheer to one’s local abortion fund, Mr. Banana Grabber wrote the following, which is frankly just one more example of pro-abort lunacy. These people can’t possibly think through the things […]
