i was thinking this song was about abortion too but
i always thought this song was kinda bitter and sarcastic, like she was being ironic when she sings "your too good for this".
but after reading all these comments it's now seems likey i was off about that. i especially agree that its about rape and the social stigma attached. the lines about not a soul taking your hand in theirs and "they blame it on you" a giveaways of this.
but now i look at some of the other lyrics i'm a bit reluctant somehow to throw away my first theory. "as if you don't know why you're here" sounds a bit accusing. i dunno, i'm ambivalent about this. maybe so's niko and that's the point?

neko confirmed that the song is about abortion in recent ny times article. from her comments, i don't think it's meant to be at all accusatory.
