<\/p>\nRUSH: Now, let me see if I can dig deeper on this whole abortion business, and maybe I\u2019m going too deep on it. Maybe I\u2019m making too big a deal out of it. We\u2019re talking murder here, folks. Now, that\u2019s what makes this different from the way they\u2019ve always approached this. There has been is a significant, fundamental change in the way they are describing what they are supporting here, because it\u2019s always been killing. They\u2019ve known it, we know it, everybody knows it. They have sought to massage the language so that it wasn\u2019t seen as that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And the primary way they did that was to cloak it in a woman\u2019s right to choose. It was a freedom issue or a civil rights issue — and nobody but nobody has the right to tell a woman what she can do with her body! Even though we do it all the time. We have laws against prostitution. We have laws against drug muling. We have laws against any number of things that involve the body, men and women both. But the left couched it as a civil rights issue, and they denied that there was even any killing going on because there wasn\u2019t anything to kill.<\/p>\n
It was “an unviable tissue mass.” Pregnancy is “a risky medical condition.” It can develop into a “disease.” Then they told us that there are deep psychological problems that can result from pregnancy itself. Not abortion, but pregnancy! I mean, they built a whole lot of so-called justifications for abortion, never acknowledging that the death of a human being was happening. That was the point! It was not the death of a human being. They argued about when conception began. They said it wasn\u2019t a human being.<\/p>\n
And people would say, “Well, it has to begin at conception! Life begins at conception because where else can it begin?” “No, you can\u2019t say that.” And then they got into scientific — presented scientific information from learned people at the Guttmacher Institute about when life begins, and it was never at conception. Then they got into arguments, ” There\u2019s no soul there. What are you conservatives talking about? There\u2019s no soul until the baby\u2019s born!” They went through every imaginable distortion and contortion to guilt or innocence everybody that they wanted to support the cause here, that we were not talking about the loss of life.<\/p>\n
If they came out and advocated for the wanton killing of children, they would have never had the popular support for it that they did. But if they couch it as, “So many women are impregnated against their will by rapists, muggers! Men are brutes! Can\u2019t trust men with their own children! Anybody… Who would want to bring a child into the world fathered by that brute?” Then they somehow you Pajama Boy walking in the garden.<\/p>\n
Seriously, folks, they did everything they could to justify the procedure by dehumanizing it. Do not doubt me on this — and why? Why? What was in it? Why were they even so into this? It was a political issue. What was the benefit of this? Well, it was a hell of a fundraising issue, but it also tied inexorably to militant feminism, which meant that it tied to uber-liberalism. So it was designed to raise money. It was designed to create hatred against people who love God and believe in God.<\/p>\n
It was designed to create a divided society and culture with people that love and believe in God on one side and everybody else on the other, and then they tried to recruit as many people away from God to their side as they could. All the while, never acknowledging… That\u2019s why they couldn\u2019t support adoption. They couldn\u2019t support adoption because there\u2019s no baby. Then, of course, rape and incest comes along, and that\u2019s even another reason why! But it\u2019s not the baby\u2019s fault how it was conceived, but it didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n
Rape and incest, another reason why we can\u2019t force women to… But now, folks, all that\u2019s gone now, and it\u2019s changed — and you know, the big change is, they are giving standing ovations in the New York state Senate chamber to the killing of children! Now they are acknowledging that that\u2019s what\u2019s happening, and they\u2019re applauding it! And they\u2019re codifying it and making it constitutional in New York. They applaud it. There was a standing O for the provision that if an attempted abortion fails, you can go ahead and finish the job after birth. (clapping)<\/p>\n
They stood up, standing O. Do you realize this is a striking change in approach? For the longest time there wasn\u2019t a baby involved, there wasn\u2019t a human being. It was just a woman\u2019s right to choose. It was just civil rights, human rights. It was an illness. It was an unviable tissue mass. It was a potential psychological problem. To get away with it, to promote it, to make sure that there were as many abortions as possible, they had to take the human element out of it — and they did.<\/p>\n
There wasn\u2019t killing. Talking about that way? Oh, no. You reminded people what\u2019s going on. You couldn\u2019t do that. Now they\u2019re right out in the open. So abortion now is an approved method of killing, whereas it used to just be about “a woman\u2019s right to choose,” a civil rights issue. Somebody want to tell me that they\u2019re going in the right direction? Somebody want to try to tell me that they are “progressives” and that they are furthering the enlightenment of human existence? What kind of people are these? Now, I asked earlier, “Why are they doing this?”<\/p>\n I\u2019m gonna give you my answer to it, and it\u2019s not a standalone. It\u2019s not just one thing. But I\u2019m gonna tell you what a large part of this is. Many of you are gonna pooh-pooh it. Many of you are going to say, “Ah, Rush, get serious. It\u2019s not that simple and insignificant.” But I\u2019m gonna tell you that a significant part of that standing ovation at the New York Senate chamber and a significant part of all the other celebrations is about one thing, and that is they are beating us and rubbing our nose in it, and that is what makes them happy. They hate us to the point that anything that gives them the feeling of victory, the feeling of having trounced us, that\u2019s worth the standing ovation.<\/p>\n “Us” being religion, God, the Catholic Church, Christianity at large, conservatives, the conservative movement.<\/p>\n That\u2019s as much of what they\u2019re celebrating as anything. They think we\u2019ve been standing in their way on this and so many things, and they\u2019ve had two years of what they think is Trump standing in their way — and to them, this deal in the New York State Senate yesterday was a massive rebound, a massive overcoming of tremendous odds, and they finally won one, and they get to rub our nose in it. And that, as much as anything else, is what motivates these people. I\u2019m not saying that that takes away from how evil it is. Don\u2019t misunderstand. They care about the issue too. But their hatred for us and victory over us is as much of the motivator as their issues themselves.<\/p>\n “Oh, good! Good, good, good, good. It\u2019s Apple beta today, folks. The new betas have arrived, and I cannot believe how fast you update watch software now. It\u2019s lickety-split.”<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: You know, it\u2019s actually uncanny. Everything Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murder for doing has now been legalized in New York. Gosnell was convicted. They did this movie about this guy, a Nick Searcy movie.<\/a> He was convicted of killing infants that had already been born, now legal in New York. He was convicted of allowing untrained and unlicensed nonmedical people to perform abortions. That\u2019s now legal in New York.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012419-Tweet.jpg\")
<\/a>Now they\u2019re making no effort whatsoever to hide what\u2019s happening. They are opening celebrating what\u2019s happening. That\u2019s my question. Why? What in the world, folks? The last time something like this happened was in World War II! You\u2019re not supposed to bring that up, by the way, in relation to abortion. I found that out when I tried that at the 92nd Street Y with Jeff Greenfield. Man, did they get mad at me in the audience that night! I said, “I don\u2019t understand, you people,” \u2019cause, see, there wasn\u2019t killing going on back when I did it in 1992.<\/p>\n
