I've heard that people think this is about a woman contemplating an abortion.. I can see where someone would think that, but I really don't agree.. I think it is about wanting to stand up to the government/authority.. Especially coming from someone who is in the military.. Being told to kill when you don't agree with the politics.
Your comment is definitely along the right lines. During the 1960's and 70's there was a terrorist organization called the Weather Underground, and it's members called themselves the Weathermen. Many of their bombings were in response to the escalation of the Vietnam War. That's where the "right/choice to kill" thing comes in. I honestly don't know what most of the other lyrics mean though.
