"Hard to Make A Stand" is the third single from American rock star Sheryl Crow's 1996 self-titled second album. It was only released as a commercial single in Europe. The track caused controversy in the US due to its references to abortion. The music video for the song, directed by Matthew Amos, is taken from a live performance in London.

An acoustic live performance of this song is featured on Sheryl Crow's 2006 concert DVD: Wildflower Tour, Live From New York.
