The edit by Joie de Vivre had a number of things wrong with it. Firstly, if we have to use "pro-choice" rather than "pro-abortion," then we have to use "pro-life" instead of "anti-abortion," according to NPOV. Secondly, the article doesn't make sense if it says that Lydon isn't pro-choice but believes that the choice must be the mother's, since this is the very definition of being pro-choice. If someone wants to tease out the language to be more NPOV/PC, go ahead, but please keep it accurate. Finally, just because John Lydon of the 21st century is pro-choice doesn't mean that that's how he and his bandmates viewed things in writing the song decades ago. Lydon may condemn those who believe the song is against abortion, but it takes a lot of tortured interpretation to look at the lyrics of the song and think of the song as being pro-choice.

Fair enough. Joie de Vivre 23:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lydon is full of it

He's just backtracking because it's now too explosively un-PC. It's obvious what the point of the song is. It's sad that the supposed "rebel" has been cowed by the establishment.

[edit] Gosh darn Karma Police

Or should that be attitude NAZIs?

That you, John? If not, good impersonation.
