I only became aware of this album just now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJkB33JQfe4
"Released in 1993 on Rykodisc. It was released as a benefit album, with proceeds going to support NARAL, the Brooklyn Women's Anti-Rape Exchange, and Women's Health Action and Mobilization."
Chilling to hear the cover of the Beatles' "She Said She Said" in this context, specifically "She said / 'I know what it's like to be dead'"

the lineup is very ryko, iykwim. does that mean all of those songs are about abortion in this context?

xp most of them are (or are related to the causes they benefit), but something like the Tom Waits song that later appeared on Mule Variations seems to be unrelated.

Honorary mention to U2 and "I Will Follow", which soundtracks the abortion scene in The Last American Virgin.

Surprised no-ones mentioned perhaps the most famous anti-abortion tune of all time, 'Murder she wrote' by Chaka Demus & Pliers.

"National Acrobat" by Black Sabbath has a line about an unborn child, though I have no idea what they say about it.
Think this song is specifically about reincarnation.

I see I mentioned the Mekons contribution to that comp in... 2004. Blimey.
Eugene Chadbourne: "Let's Go Back in Time"
This is legit one of the most stirring things I've ever heard. I guess I didn't know it quite that far that back.

The opening lyrics to Daniel Johnston's "Fate Will Get Done" are "Time flies when you're having fun/aborted babies are the lucky ones." Haven't heard that song in like 25 years, but that couplet has really stuck with me.

This is my favourite song which has a political message that I vehemently disagree with
