i tend to agree that this song is probably about girls getting abortions, but i also wonder if it could be about rape? more specifically, girls going to the hospital after being raped. even though the harsh condemnation these girls are receiving seems more fitted to abortion, think of how people will say "well, dressed like that she was just asking for it" or rapists will insist that "they wanted it" etc. Also, i think the lines about "lovers who won't understand" ties in better to the long lasting effects of the trauma of rape, and how it can affect later relationships.
