When the appalling videos of Planned Parenthood’s ghoulish activities were first released, there was a truly encouraging reaction from many parts of the American public, particularly from the Christians. And while there is still a great deal of energy pent up from that moment, here we are, many months later, and our tax dollars are still going to support that unspeakable organization. Of course our goal is to end human abortion, but a good interim goal would be for us to stop paying for it. To that end, we need to figure out various ways to keep the pressure on.
In that spirit, I got together with some friends and put together this song about it. If you like the message, and like the song, please help us get the word out. Thanks much. The lyrics are below. The song is available now on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.
Got No Beds
When you think of Planned Parenthood
Do you think we ever could
Walk it to a funding cliff and throw it on over?
They’re selling baby body parts
Livers, lungs, and heads and hearts,
Little baby lungs and heads,
Little babies got no beds,
Little babies thrown into mechanical devices.
Make some cash, make some cash,
Make more money while they’re at it.
If you find some extra parts
We can always add it
To our bottom line, to our profit margin.
Crush above and crush below,
Let me give you more facts,
There’s good money in that thorax,
Gotta guard the thorax.
Try some salad, wine’s real nice,
At some point, bring it down,
They are going to find a price.
With high technique
And with ultra modern ultra sound,
They have seen and they have found
A moneymaker way—just a little less crunchy,
American know how,
And medically professional
But not so quite as crunchy,
A little less crunchy, a little less mangling,
No, I said mangle, I didn’t say Mengele,
I know, I know, I know all about it,
Shut your face, Godwin’s law, no Nazi comparisons
No Nazi comparisons.
(Unless there is one.)
Who provoked these evil deeds?
Margaret Sanger’s human weeds,
Human weeds have got black skin,
The very best for dying in.
13 million got no beds,
Got no livers, got no heads.
Try real hard, you can do it, you can do it.
Explain it all away,
Tell the world what you’ve been doing.
I mean, besides all those trips to the bank.
They’re selling baby body parts
Livers, lungs, and heads and hearts,
Little baby lungs and heads,
Little babies got no beds,
Fifty million got no beds.
Have you had some time to think?
Shut it down sounds right to me.
July 25, 2017 Salem, Oregon Regina Sylvan has a plan. The avid recycler and Gaia worshiper is concerned that the newly passed House Bill 3391 which makes abortion more accessible as well as making it the financial responsibility of Oregon tax payers could potentially overload local land fills now that the use of fetal remains as a source of fuel for power plants has fallen out of favor. “It’s really irresponsible to the planet to just put all that organic material into the waste stream” said Sylvan. She further commented that Oregon was one of the best states in which… Read more »

And the secularists are seeking to expand into areas where abortion is illegal. Northern Ireland bans abortion despite being legal in the UK. the British Medical Journal reports that providing abortion in these regions is successful
Thank you. I have always wondered why the Left were the only ones adroit enough to make effective protest songs such as in the Vietnam era. It be a good thing to see more of this.
Haunting.

When is the last time you heard a progressive push vasectomies for birth control? Why is always “women’s health.”
When was the last time you heard a conservative preacher do the same? Maybe it has something to do with wanting to beat the muslims in the Baby-Making War?
Yeah, that’s just why my Christian lady friends want to have more children–to win the numbers game.
Your competitive (dare I say masculine) comment proves the point. The pro-abortionist agenda is anti-women and has duped them into accepting all the responsibility, including the guilt of killing their own children.

Vasectomies don’t result in salable products? Abortions are a cash cow; a continuous harvest.
This verse needed to appear in any protest song on the topic. It’s too bad they couldn’t find a way to work in the words “mammon”, “abortuary”, “saline burn”, or “Lamborghini”.
This metallic genre of music isn’t one that I’ve ever understood being on anyone’s playlist, but if it ever had a legitimate place, this protest would be it. Baby meats metal, and dies.
I was just listening to the Plodcast episode about the pro-life movement. I was involved in the pro-choice movement for many years, and I still have many pro-choice friends. I agree with the argument you made about no longer talking about rape exceptions, but I’d say it goes beyond that. Pro-choice people are not stupid. They recognize the inconsistently there. It might work with your average person who is kind of wishy-washy about abortion, but hard-core pro-choicers see it for what it is: an acknowledgement that we must not actually think fetuses are human beings worthy of protection if we… Read more »
I think the words to the song are fantastic and your effort deserves applause. But I don’t like the music … if indeed that’s what you call it. No offense. Attempts to reach the younger crowd are necessary, but this degree of contextualization cripples the Cause long term. Dr. Keller, whom I love, sends the leotarded boys out to skip upon the stage in the name of Christian art. You, General, whom I very much admire, send forth your offering in grinding tones and scary resonances. Pot … meet the kettle. You and the Dr. can’t converse on the road… Read more »
Kevin Brendler, I would like a minute for rebuttal, if you’ll be so kind as to countenance it. “Pot…meet the kettle”? One puts forth an effeminate display as a meditation to The Lord’s Supper, no less, and one you just don’t like the music. How can you equate those two? You say the words of the song are fantastic. What sort of music should accompany words about people who kill babies and sell their body parts for profit? Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony? Handel’s Messiah? Sounds that have “grinding tones and scary resonances” as you put it are exactly what these words… Read more »
“Pot…meet the kettle”? First, let me recommend the following excellent review of “Got No Beds.” As we have engaged with culture, this has entailed engaging with the arts. But what engaging with the arts has meant practically is that many of us have decided—instead of giving ourselves to the hard word of aesthetic discipline—to imitate the world by copping a pose instead. If you want to learn what the “tell” is for this, look for this combination—claims for the aesthetic development coupled with a dramatic increase in ugliness, amateurism, or incompetence. I can’t tell you how many times I have… Read more »
“How can you equate those two?” Both the Dr. and the General, in their respective offerings, concede too much to the world and, in the process, forfeit the integrity of a Christian stance in the world. That statement is NOT to be understood more broadly. I reflect here only upon the ballet and the song. The Christian message or a Christian message has to be contextualized to some degree. The apostle Paul affirmed his readiness to do so (1 Cor 9) and therefore we should follow suit. I think both the ballet and the song are attempts in that direction.… Read more »
