- Regardless of where you now stand on the issue of legalized abortion, I think we all would agree that this touching, tender, yet honest song from Graham Parker‘s 1979 masterpiece Squeezing Out Sparks took great empathy for Parker to write, and great courage to release.
- “Coathangers,” which is about abortion laws. It reminded me of “You Can’t Be Too Strong,” which some people took to be anti-abortion, though you’ve suggested those people got it wrong.
- When The National Review published their list of the 50 greatest conservative rock songs, this song was at #30.
