Thread Name: Pro choice song 'The Last Walk'
Subject: Pro choice song 'The Last Walk'
I am looking for the author and further lyrics to a powerful song i learned about 20-25 years ago. I've totally lost track of who I learned it from. It started like this (more or less)
So she took that last walk
down the dark hallway, and on to the table of death
Four kids at home and her husband gone
there's no room for number five just yet
But somehow she never stopped bleeding
The doc said he'd done it a hundred times before
Baby's crying for his evening feeding
Mommy won't be coming back no more
And the chorus went (more or less)
And they want to take us back
back to the chopping block, butcher shop
coat hanger pit stop
where they suck the life right out of you
But for the women who gave her life that night
They ain't talking about her right to life
David T
