For a group of 'anarchists' the Sex Pistols certainly seemed to share a fairly conservative view on abortion.

They present a persuasive argument.

I think people should have the right to abortion. However, I don't think they should be spared the moral considerations of their actions. Abortions should only happen when necessary, for the 'greater good'.

Human life isn't a 'convenience'.

She was a girl from Birmingham.
She just had an abortion.
She was case of insanity.
Her name was Pauline she lived in a tree.

She was a no one who killed her baby.
She sent her letter from the country.
She was an animal.
She was a bloody disgrace!

Body! I'm not an animal.
Body! I'm not an animal.

Dragged on a table in a factory;
Illegitimate place to be.
In a packet in a lavatory.
Die little baby! Screaming.
Body! Screaming fucking bloody mess.
Not an animal;
It's an abortion.

Body! I'm not an animal.
Mummy! I'm not an abortion!

Throbbing squirm.
Gurgling bloody mess.
I'm not a discharge.
I'm not a loss in protein.
I'm not a throbbing squirm.

Fuck this and fuck that.
Fuck it all, and fuck the fucking brat.
She don't wanna baby that looks like that.
I don't wanna baby that looks like that.
Body! I'm not an animal.
Body! An abortion.

Body! I'm not an animal.
An animal.
I'm not an animal...
I'm not a body...
I'm not an abortion...

Mummy! Arrgh!
