I only listened to 'Abortion Papers' for the first time today. And I must say I was shocked by the lyrics.
Personally, I am not religious and am pro-choice so obviously don't see God's relevance to whether a woman has an abortion, but can understand Michael's. However, I didn't think he would condemn women for making a choice for themselves.
"Those abortion papers. Signed in your name against the words of God"
It's not like a woman goes through an abortion with no complex thoughts or qualms; I feel like MJ doesn't understand the emotional impact making the choice to have an abortion has on a woman (at least in this song).
Obviously MJ loves children and wants to preserve their lives, but if a woman does not want/cannot have a child then it is her choice to terminate the pregnancy and I don't think he should bring God into it, because sometimes it's a necessary decision to make.
I guess in this song MJ kind of disappointed me. Am I the only one?
