SB seventeen twenty two.\u201d Thus begins the song \u201cDon\u2019t Abort Her, Sir\u201d from the trendy new musical penned by GOP lobbyist turned lyricist, Vernon White. This hip-hop drama, hot off the wheels of Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s Hamilton, recounts the story of important pro-life legislation in the United States, from Roe v. Wade to today. In an exclusive interview with the Dealer, White revealed how the idea was conceived: \u201cOn Fox News Sunday, I saw that some hip hop musical thing was getting the young people interested in American History, so I thought to myself, hey, why can\u2019t I do the same thing to get today\u2019s boys and girls interested in pro-life ideology?\u201d The musical follows the story of young, hot-blooded American men Rick Scott, Scott Walker, and Mike Pence as they work their way up from being young, somewhat less powerful white men, to becoming older, richer, much more powerful white men, using their influence to \u201cprotect the lives of women and children\u201d along the way. An online preview includes the lyrics from several numbers, including this fast paced rap from early in the musical designed to succinctly explain the protagonists\u2019 ideologies: \u201cYou, me, and Mr. Rick Scott \/ We had a thought to tell women to do what they ought \/ They can\u2019t throw away their shot \/ It might be the size of a blood clot \/ but it could develop into an astronaut!\u201d Other tracks are more charged with determinationurgency, as the heroes try to force the closuree of abortion clinics across the country: \u201cWe\u2019re all gunned \/ All Men\/ We need to get Parenthood De-Planned! \/ We need to stop these one night stands \/ Ayo, I\u2019m trying to make a right-winged land!\u201d Despite the bravado these songs display, there are alsosome more impassionedntimate and sympathetic scenes. One such songcene has an emotionally packed ballad assuring listeners that these laws are just trying to protect women. \u201cI don\u2019t pretend to know\/the challenges you\u2019re facing\/ the male privileges you keep creating and erasing in your mind\/Stop throwing shade \/I know I\u2019m protecting you\/If only the hallways were wide enough\/that could be enough.\u201d Although some have accused White of plagiarism, as most of the songs have the same rhythms and melodies as songs from Hamilton, but with poorly chosen lyrics, the author remains un-phased. \u201cIt is not a complete rip off,\u201d White assured CNN reporters. \u201cInstead of telling the story of old white men through using actors of color, we\u2019re sticking with old white men!.\u201d When asked if he thought Hamilton\u2019s popularity and significance had anything to do with how it reclaims history for some who do not necessarily think of it as their own, White replied, \u201cUhh, no.
