Si Kahn wrote "The Senator" about a state representative who finds himself pregnant and finds out that right-to-life laws (that he pushed through) keeps the doctor from "helping him out."

This song is addressed to my sisters.

Any man who is present may listen,
Any priest, any public official, any physician.

But it gives him no license to touch us.
We make the decision. 

Me and Lydia, Josie and Rosie and Eve,

We handle this matter ourselves, 

You'd better believe, or you better leave.


Chorus:

Rosie Jane, are you pregnant again?

Rosie Jane, you can hardly take care

Of the four you had before. 

What in heaven's name were you thinking of!

Rosie Jane, was it love?


I had an extra shot on top of what I'd got,

In a word I was drunk, so was Bill.

At least I think it was Bill,

And I'd forgot to take my pill.

I guess it was God's will.

(Chorus)

When that baby is a child,

It will suffer from neglect,

Be picked upon and pecked, 

And run over and wrecked,

And its head will be crowned with the thorn.

But while it's inside her

It must remain intact,

And it cannot be murdered till it's born.

(Chorus)
