El Aborto De La Gallina

Manolo Kabezabolo's song 'El Aborto De La Gallina' is a satirical and humorous take on the controversial topic of abortion, using the metaphor of chickens wanting to abort their eggs. The song opens with a sense of alarm, highlighting that such a situation has never been encountered before. The absurdity of the scenario is immediately apparent, as the artist questions the listener's opinion on 'the abortion of the hen.' This sets the stage for a critique of societal and economic concerns surrounding reproductive rights.

The lyrics delve into the potential economic chaos that would ensue if hens were allowed to abort their eggs. The artist humorously points out that the prices of tortillas would skyrocket, and common egg-based dishes like potato tortillas, fried eggs, and scrambled eggs would become scarce. This exaggeration serves to mock the often hyperbolic arguments made against abortion, suggesting that the fear of economic collapse is overblown and irrational.

Further, the song addresses the proposed solutions to the 'problem,' such as the use of contraceptive pills and condoms for roosters, which are met with firm rejection. This mirrors real-world debates where proposed solutions to reproductive issues are often dismissed or met with resistance. The song concludes by extending the absurdity to other animals, suggesting that if hens were allowed to abort, soon sheep, cows, and pigs would demand the same rights, leading to total chaos. Through this exaggerated scenario, Manolo Kabezabolo critiques the slippery slope arguments often used in debates about reproductive rights, highlighting the absurdity and fear-mongering that can dominate such discussions.
