Y So Salty?
It’s morning at the clinic
(all) Escorts rise and shine!!
We come equipped with speakers
And tunes to drown the hate!
We deal with so much bullshit
Straight from the frontlines
We’re bombarded daily
(all) SO TO ANTIS WE SAY:
Salty Yoli in her white lab coat, GET OUT!
Antis using religion to shame, GET OUT!
Creepy male antis who harass, GET OUT!
If you’re here to condemn abortion, GET OUT!
Chorus 2x
(All) Starr, Hidalgo, Cameron Willacy!
The RGV stands up for patient dignity!
Lady who chased a sobbing woman, GET OUT!
The one who brings her amp and mic, GET OUT!
CPCs who masquerade in scrubs, GET OUT!
The one who says that the pill kills, GET OUT!
To all of the people who hide in their costumes,
To all of the people who shame and harass you,
To all of the people who lie to your faces,
To all of the people who block your access GET OUTTT!

Roses
Back in 1976, options were becoming limited
They couldn’t ban the rich or the middle class person
So they specifically targeted the marginalized and the poor
*All because of the Hyde Amendment!!*
Today in the valley
This can be a nightmare
For those in poverty
Who can’t afford access to care
Thank abortion funds
Who help ease the burden
Your dollars help someone
But we need a long term solution
Chorus
We have a long way to go
To reverse these toxic bans
To ensure our health and safety
So no more lives are ever claimed
Rosie was only 27
And a single mother
Daughter of migrant workers
Almost through with college
Her whole future ahead of her
Until she became pregnant
*All because of the Hyde Amendment!!*
She could not afford a safe abortion
So she opted for risky cheaper option
Infection took her life!
She was the first casualty of Hyde
Far too high a price
Rest in power those who died!

Turning the Tide

By the winter of ’17
The story’s still continuing
On the streets of our beautiful Brownsville scene
All the abortions they’re stonewalling
Despite the TX court rulings
In favor of our hopes and dreams
Beneath the beauty lies a terrible thing
The government suppresses voices of brown children and teens
Walking hundreds of miles hoping to escape their misery
Now it’s 2019
But the story’s still continuing
On our beautiful Brownsville scene
Chorus
And all this time you said you didn’t know
(We need to believe in)
And all this time you said you didn’t hear
(The stories of minors)
And all this time you said it’s not your fault
(Changing the perspective)
And suddenly you want to block access?
(Of our hometown)
With the help of the community
And Jane’s Due Process fighting for their autonomy
We can close this chapter on forced childbearing
End senseless posturing
Unseat those imposing all of their beliefs
Make sure we treat our youth holistically
40% of minors will be forced to continue by a parent
34% fear physical, sexual and emotional abuse
32% will be kicked out of their homes
And 23% of minors are orphans!
Fundamental Christian beliefs of the government
Directly contribute to the high pregnancy rates in Texas
Lets turn the tide and set practices
That will holistically aid the minors of our community!
