It's like he was saying that if abortion was illegal, then young love would be a 'daily minefield', always worrying that 'this could be the day' that they might discover that they have to bring an unwanted/unplanned child into the world. Think about the words from the perspective of a guy imagining how scary it would be if an 'initiative' became a 'bill' and then passed into law, overturning roe v. But looking at it now, I do think it fits.

Maybe I forced the idea upon the song because I was convinced that it was true. Then I saw the 'Pro-Choice on the arm' appearance on TV and made that same connection that everyone else makes that this song was about pro choice.and I believed it.

But I was intrigued by the words now that I saw them in print, because I had no idea what they could possibly have been about. When I bought it, I had finally found that song that gave me the goosebumps. When I heard that they had changed their name to 'Pearl Jam' and were going to release an album soon, I counted down the days. For months we searched magazines and stores, looking for anything by them, but it didn't exist. I got goosebumps many times during that performance, but especially during a particular song that I didn't know the name of. The opening band, 'Mookie Blaylock' stole the show. My OpinionBack in '91 I went with some friends to an 'Alice in Chains' show at 'The Bacchanal' in San Diego.
