Lyric discussion by BoomBoomKitti 

Cover art for Tiptoe lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I agree that this is most definatlely a pro-choice song. It's about the freedom to chose what happens to your body. But it is also about the emotional trauma that one goes through when they decide to terminate a pregnancy, and surviving that trauma. "I could wake up screaming sometimes, but I don't" and "I could step off the end of this pier, but I've got shit to do..." speak volumes to how I felt when I made that decision. I agree that this is not the place to debate the pro-choice/pro-life contoversy. However, being a woman who had this experience I must quote lost woman song by saying Himtopia - have you led "a life free of mistakes"? Keep bashing...Reality will not break.
