    Loretta Lynn took no prisoners. Her discography is worth reading all by itself. Some of her hit songs: "Mr and Mrs Used to Be", ""You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man"; "Don't Come Home Drinkin'"; "Fist City"; "Your Squaw is on the Warpath"; "Rated X"; "Pregnant Again"; "Lyin, Cheatin, Woman Chasin, Honky Tonkin', Whiskey Drinkin' You", and a duet with Conway Twitty titled "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly".

    Many radio stations refused to play this song because the Catholic Church condemned it. At the time that Loretta recorded this song, birth control had been sooo uncertain -- the pill allowed women finally to have control of their lives and bodies, to have careers. To plan when/if they had babies. I distinctly remember getting my first prescription for bc pills and the overwhelming feeling of relief that I had such control. What the song doesn't say is that many doctors wouldn't write a prescription without approval of the husband if the woman was married. Fortunately many hubbies supported the pill.

    People today have no understanding of some of the ways the world changed MASSIVELY. Birth control was a revolution, and we still haven't really figured out how to live in harmony in the post-pill era. Earlier, antibiotics were another enormous change. Transportation, refrigeration, communication - all of these things were happening in the same lifetime. Imagine a world without these things - your grandparents lived it.

      The changes from 1901 to 2000 (the 20th century) were unbelievable. Communication, transportation, medicine, technology, education, employment, the role of women in non-3rd-world countries, scientific advancements and so much more. And it often happened in spurts. What will the world look like in 2099? Change is the only thing that remains constant. :-)

    The song was banned on the radio (maybe on Country stations only, I'm not sure). Loretta married at 15 and was pregnant at 16. By the age of 20 she had 4 children. After that she later had twins.

    Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) was when the Supreme Court recognized MARRIED people's right to privacy, and thus, their contraceptive choices were theirs. By the way, consensual same-sex intimacy was not recognized as a right until 2003! [Lawrence v. Texas] As late as 1986, the Supreme Court had allowed a felony conviction and lengthy imprisonment for Adult, Consensual, sex in the privacy of a home to stand. You know about Roe v. Wade In 1973. Yes, this is all very RECENT history.

    Girl, you crack me up! 😅 Look at it this way, women often got married as teenagers back then.... At least in my rural Appalachian world... The first 4 of me and my siblings were "stair step children". A year and a half between each of us, and my mother had 3 of us by the age of 19. Then there's a long stretch (years..) until my youngest brother came along, lol! 😂 Loretta Lynn was a 29 yr-old grandma herself, and knows what she's singing about in this song, hehe! Before birth control pills, women were kept "barefoot and pregnant"! Again, at least where I come from, they were. I can't speak for other communities, but I can imagine they weren't much different. My grandma had 6 daughters and miscarried one, while working at a dairy farm milking cows twice a day. One of the daughters was named "Loretta Lynn" after the singer they were all proud of, that came from the hollers of KY, just like them!

      Keep in mind that the FDA does no actual testing on their own. The FDA reviews the results of laboratory, animal and human clinical testing done by companies to determine if the product they want to put on the market is safe and effective. The FDA "does not develop or test products itself". They have the power to approve, human drugs and biologics (such as vaccines, blood products, biotechnology products and gene therapy), complex medical devices, food and color additives, infant formulas, and animal drugs etc.....all without any testing of their own. Just because it says FDA approved does not mean safe. The pill is a prime example.

    I would suggest you listen to One's on the way
    by Loretta Lynn. Women back then had lots of children because they didn't have a choice. She named one of her twins after her idol Patsy Cline. This is not my favorite Loretta song. But thanks for the reaction.

    Loretta is the First Lady of country for a reason. In my opinion she is above everyone else. Male or female. I just love her. Her sneaky beautiful smile while dropping edgy stuff is so amazing. I have not researched all your reactions yet, but "One's on the way" might be my favorite Loretta song. It tells a story of struggle and a rough life. Have a listen. But enough about Loretta for a second. You look absolutely amazing. Especially in this one if you ask me. I don't know what it is, but I get butterflies watching you.

    The Pill became available in 1960 but it wasn't legal for single women to obtain it until a Supreme Court decision in 1972. Yes, many single women got it anyway but they and their doctor could have gone to jail.

    The advent of the pill really allowed women to (gasp!!) enjoy sex without the constant worry of (yet another) pregnancy. It allowed them to work and become independent of men - which also horrified many men. This song was many women's anthem - when they could actually hear it, since it was blocked so many places.

    I recommend you watch Coal Miner’s Daughter. It’s a really good film and it will tell you a lot about those country music ladies of the 1960s and 70s. The pill came into wide spread use in the 1960s. Just for context, women couldn’t get a credit card without her husband’s or father’s signature until 1974. Different world.

    My Grandmother lived in severe poverty and gave birth to 14 children, 12 of whom survived. She scraped and did without to tend and raise them all. No worlds can describe how hard it was on her. While I dearly love all of my aunts and uncles and the resulting tribe of cousins, I know that life would have been much easier for Grandma if she had had access to the pill.

      I saw Loretta and Conway Twitty in concert at Rupp Arena in the late 1970s. I was in high school and worked as an usher and ticket taker there. I do believe the entire population of Butcher Holler, Kentucky was in the audience that night. After the concert, Loretta and Conway sat on the stage and signed autographs and took pictures for over 2 hours. They did not want anyone to leave disappointed. They were such a class act.

    He’s keeping her knocked up their whole marriage (which was true for her in her own marriage from age 14 on. You need to watch “Coalminers Daughter” about her! Also has a bunch of other Country Music greats mentioned) A brooder house is a hen house. When a chicken gets broodish she won’t come off the eggs so you can gather eggs to eat…she will only sit on em so they are likely not good for eating unless you want more chickens

  • @ednafenton7558

    Loretta Lynn always wrote about life & what she experienced....her own life. She had 14 of her songs banned by Country radio. That's how you get a country hit. Lol. Ban a song & all the fans (mostly woman) want to hear & know why it's not being played on the radio. They went out & bought the song. Radio stations had to play it because of the fans loving the songs. Loretta didn't care what people/the industry thought. She wrote want she wanted to say/cared about.
    I remember her on a talk show(Mike Douglas show l think) talking about this song. She didn't understand what the big deal was about. She just wrote about life. Loretta also sang the song on the show. This show was bigat that time, on national tv.
    Loretta never backed down when she believed in something. I can't explain to you how big Loretta was in the 60s/70s. Then the movie came out, "Coal Miners Daughter," 1980. Loretta was & still is an amazing singer/ songwriter who broke down the doors for future female singers in mostly Country Music, but also in other genres of music. A lot of singers know who she is & what she accomplished.
    If you think Loretta is a great singer, try listening to her duets with another legend in Country Music, Mr. Conway Twitty. They are on fire together. Their chemistry together is beyond words. They were the best of friends & had fun singing together! I know this is long. So, l will end here by saying, WATCH THE MOVIE, "Coal Miners Daughter." You will love it.

    Women were tired of being baby makers and staying home all the time, and I don't blame them. My oldest sister was a country singer in small bands her whole life (60's-90's) and two of the songs she loved to sing was this one and harper valley PTA which I'm to watch you watch. She loved Patsy Cline, Reba, Loretta Lynn and growing up we had a piano and she would play and we would all sing and dance, that's 5 kids and two adults, even more on Friday and Saturday nights after the bars closed lol

    What young women today cannot even fathom (thank heavens!) is that for all intents and purposes women were the property of their husbands. Even after we had "the pill" husbands had to give their permission for their wives to get the prescription up at least until the 70s. I remember when my mom needed a hysterectomy in the late 60s for health reasons my dad had to sign giving his permission! We owe so much to the women in the 60s and 70s that fought so hard for our independence!

    Loretta Lynn had six children by the time she was 25. During an interview about this song she was asked, "How do you feel controversy about the pill".
    Her response was pure Loretta, "If the pill was available when I was popping out young'ns I'd be eaten them pills like they were popcorn."
