Behind Enemy Lines

Behind Enemy Lines - Her Body, Her Decision? lyrics

rate me

When does a woman's choice belong to her and not to man or myth?

When does a woman's body belong to her and not to man or myth?

George w. Bush vowed to overturn Roe vs. Wade

by stacking the Supreme Court full of anti-choice advocates

While attorney general John Ashcroft swore to god

that he'd keep religion out of it

This bloodthirsty Texas governor, become illegitimate president,

has some fucking nerve to call himself pro-life

He embodies the hypocritical, ignorant, sexist thinking

that's so typical of the religious right

It's her body. It's her decision

not that of state, man or religion

The “pro-life” movement is moral fraud

Fuck their lies and fuck their god

Our bodies are not a battlefield

Government and religion have proven throughout history

that they do not place value on the sanctity of life

To now call themselves “pro-life” drastically misstates the position

of those who are followers of a blood-soaked religion

Their fight is not about the sanctity of life

It's more about control and a woman's rightful role

and how they should adhere to living their lives under men's supervision

and the churches moral restrictions and contradictions

It's her body. It's her decision

Not that of state, man or religion

The “pro-life” movement is moral fraud

Fuck their lies and fuck their god

Our bodies are not a battlefield

Should we once again return to the days of desperation

for women who would put their lives in jeopardy?

Going to extreme and dangerous measures

to end an unwanted pregnancy

Instead of women having rightful access

to a safe and legal medical procedure

Performed in a clean and sterile environment

by a trained, qualified and competent doctor

Without being intimidated, harassed or threatened

by the pitfalls of religious fanaticism

They exploit graphic, disgusting and misleading images

to play on people's emotions and force their religion down our throats

By giving into this religious extortion

women will have to resort to back alley abortions

Are the women who will suffer from enforcing this restriction

really less important than fetus or fiction?

If you don't agree with abortion then don't fucking have one

But you have no right to govern someone else's body

with your arrogant, self-righteous indignation

It's her body. It's her decision

not that of state, man or religion

The “pro-life” movement is moral fraud

Fuck their lies and fuck their god

Our bodies are not a battlefield
