I think it is presumptious to say that she has strong maternal instincts. I find Joanna to be fascinated by Motherhood, perhaps not because she has strong maternal instincts, but because it is that she is also deeply fascinated by the social expectations placed on women, and the controversy surrounding abortion as it connects to sexism and the concept of abortion as a taboo.
The voice in the song seems sad, somewhat regretful, unsure, and I assume that Joanna is incorporating elements of an expectant mother that has aborted, however, I find it to be more of a social commentary and not a personal reflection.
Wait, but isn't it just as presumptuous to say "I find Joanna to be..." followed by your long list? Also, Malia said, "She's a young woman with maternal instincts," which is a bit less dramatic than saying she has "strong maternal instincts."

I don't know, your analysis, and claims that Joanna is deeply fascinated by social expectations, etc. seems to be to be just as "presumptuous" as saying that she's writing of something because she has maternal instinct.

I don't think either one of you are wrong, nor do I have a stance other than Joanna seems to be deeply interested in motherhood, along with a few others topics, easily supported by the common references. I simply don't understand why you would call one opinion presumptuous and then state your own, as if it is truth, when it doesn't appear to be any more or less valid.
