      The song Lime Tree by Bright Eyes is also from the man's perspective and has a similar tone. Really recommend it.

      Will always bug me when Republicans are like "abortions!, nobody should have them!" like those of us who have been through it haven't been scarred by it. It's not an easy choice. Love to all you who made the hard choice. You're no less because of it.

      ​@@aspect57I mean, Republicans literally celebrated a 10 year old getting pregnant and a few even said "if she is old enough to have sex then she can deal with the consequences of her actions"...and the usual BS of "well it's god's will"..wtf..like a 10 year old can even remotely consent and the dude was impregnated her was not only a pedo but a r*pist as well.

    I remember this song coming out when I was in middle school, and I really liked it. Years later, while listening to it in high school, I finally had the epiphany of "Holy shit, this song is about taking his gf to get an abortion."
    This song does an amazing job of really pointing out that, even if it is your best option, it still hurts. You still have to wake up every day and remember the choice. It doesn't take a side on abortion at all and, instead, rides that fine line down the middle, like few other songs are able to do.

    Amazing band and they're even better live! This song is so sad, it's about one of the band members who's ex had an abortion and how it broke them both. Thanks for the video!

    Always an amazing song. Oner that most people don't remember unless they were from the late 90s. I've thankfully never experienced this, but like most males... I've feared the prospect of an abortion... Granted even without this, I'm still just a drowning brick.

    May I make a request please. Could you possibly check out Ed Sheeran's live room performance of you need me I don't need you.
    I'm not sure of what you can pass by youtube algorithms so it might have to be in your own time but I promise you won't be disappointed.
    I look forward to your further videos for as long as you are willing to continue.
