Her Body, Her Decision? Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

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
