Topic: Abortion
Quote: Actually, the title is a little deceptive, however I have noticed that one verse in his new song "Runaway Love", one of the verses brings up something relevant on the abortion debate. Verse 3 goes of the song, I noticed goes:\n"Little Erica is eleven years old\nShe\'s steady trying to figure why the world is so cold\nSo she pops x to get rid of all the pain\n\'Cause she\'s having sex with a boy who\'s sixteen\nEmotions run deep and she thinks she\'s in love\nSo there\'s no protection he\'s using no glove\nNever thinking \'bout the consequences of her actions\nLiving for today and not tomorrow\'s satisfaction\nThe days go by and her belly gets big\nThe father bails out he ain\'t ready for a kid\nKnowing her mama will XXXX it all outta proportion\nPlus she lives poor so no money for abortion\nErica is stuck up in the world on her own\nForced to think that hell is a place called home\nNothing else to do but get her clothes and pack\nShe say she\'s about to run away and never come back."\nI know its not completely relevant to the abortion issue, but it is very relevant to the lives of little girls living in poverty and being abused. I would like to know what your opinion of the verse is.
Response: Ludacris and many others in the hip hop scene disrespect women with their lyrics and videos. Much of what hip hop puts out contributes to unwanted pregnancies.
