Oh, Loretta...

Hey guys, it's your "country music correspondent" once again, here to provide some more songs! We talked about Loretta Lynn in class, and listened to her song, "The Pill". My first thought was, "Wow! You tell him, sister!" It was funny, yes, but also empowering considering that birth control was sort of "taboo" at the time the song was released.

Here is a link to the song I mentioned, "The Pill"

Here is another song by Loretta Lynn, "Pregnant Again"

Does the fact that these songs are song by a country artist make them "more acceptable"? Some food for thought, perhaps....
