This song is totally about abortion!! I think it's from a person's perspective whose mother maybe considered or tried to have an abortion, but didn't. (Maybe it happened to Lacey...her mother was single, and probably somewhere in her teens.) "I've seen all your motivations, ones for good and ones for hell," refers to the motivations of the attempted abortion. The good ones ("I don't want my child to starve, and I can't take care of it") and the bad ones ("This is a foul creature, and I don't want it!")
If you had eyes to see down inside your stomach, you would understand that the thing inside of you is a living human being, a precious child.
