i see the sexual innuendos in the first verse as this tough guy who's proud of himself but gets the girl pregnant and then the "whipping" part is him not wanting to take responsibility and now she needs to decide whether she wants an abortion.
as she's thinking, it's like, why should i trust these "rusted rails" a bunch of old men pro-lifers making decisions for my body.
but still, the whipping, it still hurts her. i think it's a song about pro-CHOICE, and that eddie is trying to tell us that just because you're pro-choice doesn't mean you like to have abortions.
