I don't understand why everyone relates the gangbanger line to the abortion part. I think that she is saying that is how she feels, pretty sarcasticly.

"I've been feeling dull as a coat hanger pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be"

She has been feeling dull as a coat hanger (which is not so dull), pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh IV (well I have had a lot of IVs and it's really not that pretty), giddy as a gang banger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be (well not very giddy because what is the gang banger going to do now without his penis? Plus, ouch.)

I really think she's just talking about herself for a bit before she gets into the work she is doing. Also I think abortion is illegal in Oklahoma now, so this song might start applying there; But that's just my opinion though. :)
