| Sinead O'Connor – Three Babies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
As in all art, this song is subjective and will have special meaning for different people in different ways.. however, I feel this song is about abortion - I know it's meaning is similar in several ways to the agony of miscarraige,but just because a woman feels it impossible to carry a pregnancy to full term does not mean she doesn't deeply mourn the loss or doesn't experience the grief of the impact of the decision.. (just as a woman experiencing a miscairrage will often have deep feelings of guilt even though her loss was not her decision) Not enough people are willing to talk about abortion, and women therefore rarely want to admit to one (let alone 3 or more of them) ..our society makes that difficult if not impossible. Being the outspoken woman Sinead O'Connor is, and her feelings on rights of women and the suppression of the catholic church (very stongly against abortion rights espeially in her native Ireland)I am sure at least one of those Three Babies was lost through the difficult decision to end a pregnancy. |
