"'Hard to Make a Stand'" is the third single from Sheryl Crow's self-titled second album (1996). It was released as a single only in Europe, Canada, Japan, and South Africa. 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. A live performance of this song is featured on Sheryl Crow's 2006 concert DVD: 'Wildflower Tour, Live from New York'.
