The author of the bill is Virginia delegate Kathy Tran. She submitted a bill to save caterpillars on the same day as her late state abortion bill. I\u2019m not kidding.<\/p>\n<p>You know what I was thinking about the other day, actually last night. Isn\u2019t the worst charge that the Democrats have been able to make, that they\u2019ve come up with against Trump over the last two years, what is it? Let me just ask you, if you can think of something on your own before I reveal the big answer. What is &#8212; and it\u2019s a tough question. I mean, there might be legitimate arguments over which answer is the most correct. But what is the biggest charge against Trump over the last two years?<\/p>\n<p>What is the one thing they\u2019ve said that the media\u2019s amplified, promoted all over the country, has not let it go, it resurfaces over and over and over again. And I\u2019m gonna throw out Trump-Russia collusion \u2019cause that\u2019s an automatic and there\u2019s nothing to compete with that. But in terms of Trump\u2019s performance as president, what is the one thing that stands above all else that they have routinely roasted Trump for?<\/p>\n<p>Come on, folks. This is easy! Separating children from their mothers at the border. Remember that? The Democrats and the media were shocked. They were outraged over American immigration policy as authored by Donald Trump that would separate babies from their mothers. That would separate families. Never mind the fact that it\u2019s an Obama-era policy. And never mind the fact that Obama\u2019s administration separated more families than Trump could ever hope to because Obama was in orifice for eight years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-277315 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062118-Immigration-Border-Baby.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062118-Immigration-Border-Baby.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062118-Immigration-Border-Baby-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, what is separating a baby from her mother? Abortion. I know what you\u2019re saying, &#8220;But Rush, but Rush, there\u2019s a big argument. Abortion is a woman choosing to do it. With immigration she is not.&#8221; It doesn\u2019t matter. You see the moral equivalence here.<\/p>\n<p>So the governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, is saying he\u2019s been taken out of context with his statement. Let me grab that statement. It\u2019s late in the list here. Find it. Grab sound bite number 9. This is what we aired yesterday. A lot of people are airing this. And he says that this is out of context.<\/p>\n<p>NORTHAM: If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that\u2019s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, what the governor says that\u2019s not included in that bite is what he said prior to it. And he claims that he\u2019s talking about babies with deformities, babies with brain diseases, lack of brain activity, Down\u2019s syndrome, and other defects. And while he did say that, he\u2019s not wrong about that. But he did not specify only those circumstances. He was all-in. He did mention those in a long list of justifications for snuffing out the life.<\/p>\n<p>What is it with Democrats and making people comfortable before you kill \u2019em? You remember ABC had this televised one-hour special from the White House back during the Obama administration where Obama was gonna answer questions from the American serfs about health care. And a woman stood up. And I have said over and over again, when I saw this, I couldn\u2019t believe I was seeing it in America.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/536669\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But a woman stood up, an American citizen and asked the president of the United States about her mother. Her mother was close to 100 years old and had a tremendous will to live, but needed some kind of surgery, maybe a new kidney or something in order to live. And the woman wanted to know if under Obamacare her mother would be allowed to get that procedure and continue living. And Obama looked right her in the eyes and said (imitating Obama), &#8220;No. I don\u2019t think in that situation, uh, we have to make a determination on, uh, who &#8212; who &#8212; can\u2019t afford it for everybody&#8221; and went on and on and on and finally said in a situation like that we would give \u2019em a pill and make them comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>And he said it professorially, matter-of-factly without any emotion, without any empathy at all. I\u2019m watching, in the first place, why is the president of the United States in charge of who lives and dies? Why is the president of the United States in charge of who gets access to health care and who doesn\u2019t, and then this particular president telling a citizen, &#8220;Your mom, how old is she? Nah. Nah. I think in that situation, \u2019cause we can\u2019t do that for everybody, so we give her a pill, make her comfortable.&#8221; And now we\u2019re gonna give babies pills, I guess. We\u2019re gonna make \u2019em comfortable before we wipe \u2019em out in Virginia and the state of New York.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I said double down. There are other states that want in on this. So I raised the question the other day, why? What in the name of Sam Hill? I think there\u2019s a number of factors in addition to their hatred for us. I think in the last number of years the states have had some success imposing limitations on abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. And I think it\u2019s angered them like nothing.<\/p>\n<p>I think the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectveritas.com\/\">Project Veritas videos<\/a> which documented proof that Planned Parenthood was aborting, killing babies and harvesting the body parts for sale, I think that the last eight years have rocked them. I think state action against abortion, putting limits on the procedure. And then Kavanaugh being confirmed to the Supreme Court and perhaps Trump getting another nominee to the Supreme Court has got them so freaked out over Roe v. Wade being overturned that they\u2019re trying to cram as much in right now as they can to make it impossible to dial this back, to roll it back, to make it impossible for any restrictions to be implanted.<\/p>\n<p>Because once you say that a woman who intends to abort her baby has the right to end that baby\u2019s life even while the baby is being born, during the birth process or afterwards, once you say that, we\u2019re not talking about abortion anymore. We\u2019re talking about infanticide. But I think in addition to those things, it still stands to reason these people have so much hatred for us. And those things I just gave you add to the hatred.<\/p>\n<p>They hate Kavanaugh. They hate Trump. They hate conservative judges that might roll back Roe v. Wade. They just hate, hate, hate. And they love just throwing it back in our face. They love cramming their corruption and their perversion and their sickness right down our throats. And it causes them to get a standing O in the New York State Senate in celebration. In the state of Virginia, there\u2019s nobody apologizing, there\u2019s nobody standing up and trying to walk this back. There\u2019s no Democrat out there saying, &#8220;Wait a minute. This is not really what &#8211;&#8221; No. They\u2019re all doubling down on this.<\/p>\n<p>Last night on the Fox News Channel Tucker Carlson had a guest who makes my point, that these people are filled with an irrational hatred and rage primarily for us and for men as a subset of us. Now, us being religion, God-d, the Catholic Church, Christianity at large, conservatives, the conservative movement, that\u2019s us, and that\u2019s who and what they hate.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. We have Tucker Carlson interviewing Monica Klein. She is the founding partner of something called Seneca Strategies. And Tucker Carlson\u2019s question, &#8220;I wonder what you think about what Dr. Northam, the governor of Virginia, said. The infant is born. There\u2019s a point where the mother and the physician can decide whether to kill the infant or not.&#8221; I want you to listen to the anger and the hatred in this woman\u2019s voice. She hates Republicans. She hates Trump. She hates Kavanaugh. Tucker asks her, \u201cWhat do you think of what the governor of Virginia said?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3AZ_wiOjmHc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: (crosstalk throughout) Look, Tucker, I understand that you want to go back to a time where Roe v. Wade was illegal, where women were having back-alley abortions &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Don\u2019t&#8230; Don\u2019t give me that. I\u2019m just&#8230; C\u2019mon. This is so&#8230; Look&#8230; All right. All right.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: &#8212; and they were using coat hangers to have abortions, which is actually what\u2019s barbaric.<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Look, c\u2019mon. I\u2019m giving you time to make a real argument. I\u2019m not arguing for the repeal of Roe v. Wade. And please don\u2019t be tiresome. The governor of Virginia &#8212; who is a rising star of Democratic Party &#8212; just said this. There\u2019s pending legislation that mirrors it, and I\u2019m asking you what you think of it.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: Reproductive health care is under attack by the Republican Party. Seventy-two percent of Americans support the right to choose, and yet we have Trump and Kavanaugh trying to repeal Roe v. Wade &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: C\u2019mon.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: &#8212; and try to take away our control of our own bodies.<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: This isn\u2019t about babies! This is about health care. This is about you attempting to control women\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013119-FOX-Tucker-Carlson-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013119-FOX-Tucker-Carlson-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013119-FOX-Tucker-Carlson-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That is just&#8230; That\u2019s deranged. That is poisonous derangement. That is hatred on display. And, by the way, Ms. Klein, this business about back-alley abortions and coat hangers? You just legalized that in the state of New York, did you not? &#8220;Nonmedical personnel&#8221; can now perform abortions, including in the back alleys and including with coat hangers! And you know why that might be? You know why they might have had to put that provision in there? Because maybe they\u2019re not gonna be able to find enough doctors willing to kill babies after they\u2019re born.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they\u2019re not gonna have enough doctors to kill babies while they\u2019re being birthed. But she\u2019s just nothing but a walking cliche. (interruption) Well after the baby is born&#8230; This is a great point, by the way. After the baby\u2019s born has got nothing to do with the woman\u2019s body. But you heard her say, &#8220;This isn\u2019t about babies. This is about health care. This is about you attempting to control women\u2019s bodies.&#8221; This isn\u2019t about babies! They have to say that in order to obliterate their conscience. It isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>This is why from the beginning, pregnancy was an illness. It has been a disease. It has been a source of psychological disorders. Pregnancy is rape and incest. Pregnancy? Women do not know what they\u2019re getting into when they get pregnant! It\u2019s a civil rights issue. It\u2019s a freedom issue. It\u2019s an anti-man issue. &#8220;It\u2019s not about babies. This is about health care. This is about you&#8230;&#8221; She\u2019s looking at Tucker Carlson. &#8220;This is about you attempting to control women\u2019s bodies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not after the baby\u2019s born, Monica! The woman\u2019s body is not a factor, and her retort is, &#8220;Yes, it is. If the woman wants to abort, you have nothing to say about it. She can abort whenever.&#8221; Can she abort when the child is 2 if things aren\u2019t going well? Where does this end? So Carlson\u2019s getting very frustrated because she\u2019s just a walking bunch of hate-filled cliches. So he says, &#8220;Don\u2019t be a robot. This is the governor of Virginia saying this! I want to know what you think of it. Is that okay or does any of this bother you?<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: It bothers me that you are attempting to control women\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: I\u2019m not attempting to control women\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: That\u2019s what you\u2019re doing!<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: You have the governor &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: You are!<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Look, I\u2019m wondering if you think &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: The Republican Party right now is working overtime to repeal Roe v. Wade &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: &#8212; and take away choice in every state!<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: I wonder if you think you\u2019re convincing anybody or if your unwillingness to address what just happened today on tape is a sign that you can\u2019t defend this. And if you can\u2019t defend it, I wonder why that is? As an American, as a woman, what do you think of that?<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: Have you asked&#8230;? As a woman what do I think of it?<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: Have you asked yourself why you spend so much time talking about this rather than thinking about why your party is trying to repeal Roe v. Wade and women\u2019s bodies?<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Okay, hold on.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: There seven states where there is only one abortion clinic!<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: This is about a woman\u2019s right to choose, and you as a man should not have a single say in that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Monica Klein, who is incapable of discussing this in terms and within the context of the issue\u2019s current state and evolution. You hear these cliches and these bromides: &#8220;Woman\u2019s right to choose!&#8221; This is how they\u2019ve always sold this: As a freedom issue, as a civil rights issue, as a health issue. &#8220;It\u2019s not about babies!&#8221; Well, see, this is what Monica doesn\u2019t get yet. In New York state and, is about the babies! It\u2019s about killing the babies as they are exiting the womb or later! And she can\u2019t even get there.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s just gotta continue to stay focused on the arguments they have always used to shut people down, arguments which are nothing more than allegations. Did Tucker Carlson say anything in this interview here about controlling her body or any other woman\u2019s body? But my point is, you heard the irrational hatred and rage. This is not some woman he dragged in off the street. This is a woman who heads a major pro-choice organization, abortion organization called Seneca Strategies. She would be one of the de facto political leaders of this movement. So the anger and the hatred&#8230; She hates Republicans; she hates men. It sounds like she hates babies.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me be clear about something. This is not just something happening in a couple of rogue Democrat states like New York and, in this case, Virginia. The proposal here by Kathy Tran, who is the Virginia delegate that has proposed this legislation that would allow the slaughtering of a baby while it\u2019s being born or afterwards (sorry if the language bothers you, but what else are you gonna call this?) that the governor now is defending, a licensed pediatrician is defending.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-298260 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Tran-e1548959501808.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is part of a nationwide plan, folks, from elected Democrats in a lot of states. New York, where you\u2019ve already heard the audio of standing ovations after it was announced that children can be aborted up to the due date and that children can be aborted by nonmedical personnel. Rhode Island has similar legislation. Vermont has similar legislation. New Mexico is getting in on this action. Their quest is to make it a constitutional right! In New York, it has been proclaimed constitutional now.<\/p>\n<p>All of that late-term abortions up to and including during birth, right before the due date, nonmedical personnel. What are we gonna call that, the fourth trimester? You know, we always used the terms these people use. You know, we debate it on their terms. They get to set the language. That\u2019s why you can\u2019t call this &#8220;murder.&#8221; You can\u2019t! No, no. This is not a murder. This is abortion. It\u2019s inviable tissue mass and so forth. But they\u2019re trying to get late-term abortion passed all over this country very fast now.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I just checked the email during the break. &#8220;Mr. Limbaugh, this is getting tiresome. I\u2019m so tired of hearing about this issue, abortion. Why do we care? It\u2019s just a bunch of liberals killing their kids, and, frankly, I say, &#8216;Move on!\u2019 I want to hear about the wall! I want to hear about some of these other issues. I\u2019d rather hear about the NFL and the Super Bowl than this.&#8221; It\u2019s actually a good question. I can\u2019t tell you the number of people over the years who have told me, &#8220;You\u2019re wasting your time talking about this, Rush, because women are not gonna stop doing this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No matter what happens, they\u2019re gonna have abortions. You can\u2019t stop it. It\u2019s been that way since the beginning of time.&#8221; Let me state my objective here and purpose here. That\u2019s not really it. I don\u2019t have the power to tell people what to do and what not to do. You know, we do that via society, via our moral code, and laws and public shaming and a number of other things like that. I\u2019m not an autocrat. I\u2019m not even trying to guilt trip anybody. But I am posing something that I think is very, very consequential to our entire country and society.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, it is unmistakable that as life itself becomes cheapened and the sacrosanct respect for it disappears, none of us is worth anything to anybody. If life is worth nothing, then nothing else is going to be worth anything, and it is going to cause &#8212; and I would submit to you it already has caused! I think abortion is a major factor in 12- to 15-year-olds murdering each other with guns all over the country. I think the wanton promotion of killing babies cannot possibly not have an impact over the course of years on everybody\u2019s perception of life and the importance of it.<\/p>\n<p>Then you get into who is worthy of living and who isn\u2019t. You start talking about, &#8220;Well, a child born into poverty? Who would want to do that to a child?&#8221; Well, go check the number of robust, successful, happy people born to poverty. But who are we to say these things? &#8220;Somebody\u2019s born to poverty; it\u2019d be better if they didn\u2019t live.&#8221; It\u2019s not your decision! It\u2019s not anywhere in your purview. But if we start cheapening life &#8212; and I think we\u2019ve been doing it since Roe v. Wade was legalized, made constitutional.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-253263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/FB-FB-110117-Liberalism.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/FB-FB-110117-Liberalism.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/FB-FB-110117-Liberalism-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Once it became a constitutional right to kill, then we started debating, &#8220;Who else can we kill? Can we kill at the elderly spectrum of life? Can we kill people when we find out when they\u2019re in the womb that they\u2019re gonna be fat, freckled-faced, and redheaded, and the parents don\u2019t want a fat, freckled-faced, and redheaded kid? Can we kill them?&#8221; We\u2019re getting there. Wait until it is discovered that homosexuality is genetic, and wait until prospective parents could be told this their child might be gay at birth. You know who\u2019s gonna do the fastest 180 from pro-choice to pro-life? The entire homosexual community is gonna become pro-life overnight.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re already down this road toward genetic defects and deficiencies being identified. That\u2019s why in late-term abortion&#8230; This governor is sitting there saying, &#8220;Well, after the baby is born, we\u2019ll take a look here and see what kind of deficiencies might exist or what kind of deformities.&#8221; We know most of these long before birth now because of the scientific advances that have taken place. I\u2019m just telling you: You start cheapening life this way, and then you cheapen it even further by claiming a baby isn\u2019t even a person, a baby isn\u2019t even a human being, and folks, you\u2019re next.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all next depending on who these people are, how much power they get, and the basis on which they determine who gets to live and who doesn\u2019t. What if down the road a bunch of liberals decide, &#8220;You know, rather than have to put up with a bunch of opposition, a bunch of conservatives, let\u2019s just wipe \u2019em out!&#8221; You think that will never happen, it can\u2019t happen? Well, no, not tomorrow. But if this stuff doesn\u2019t stop in the next 30 years&#8230; Did any of you ever think even 10 years ago, that a major political party would be arguing for the right to kill a baby after it was born?<\/p>\n<p>If I had predicted that 10 years ago on this program and told you that, you all would have thought I\u2019m nuts and you would have demanded that I shut up. You don\u2019t want to hear such things. &#8220;It\u2019s ridiculous! You\u2019re going way, way overboard, Rush,&#8221; and yet here we are.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Grab sound bites 5 and 6.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to hear Kathy Tran, who is the House of Delegates in Virginia Democrat who authored this abomination there. This is Monday, these sound bites are from Monday during a debate and hearing at the House of Delegates. Delegate Todd Gilbert, who is a Republican, is asking Kathy Tran, the Democrat delegate, about the limits of her bill.<\/p>\n<p>GILBERT: Where it\u2019s obvious that a woman is about to give birth. She has physical signs that she is about to give birth. Would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified? She\u2019s dilating.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t0kC1B__CJ4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>TRAN: Mr. Chairman, that would be a decision that the doctor, the physician and the woman \u2013<\/p>\n<p>GILBERT: I understand that \u2013<\/p>\n<p>TRAN: &#8212; would make at that point.<\/p>\n<p>GILBERT: I\u2019m asking if your bill allows that.<\/p>\n<p>TRAN: My bill would allow that, yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8220;My bill would allow that. It\u2019s up to the doctor, and it\u2019s up to the woman, and it\u2019s up to the medical professionals.&#8221; And she wanted to make sure she was understood. She said&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>TRAN: The third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>GILBERT: Okay. But to the end of the third trimester?<\/p>\n<p>TRAN: Yep. I don\u2019t think we have a limit in the bill.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We don\u2019t have a limit in the bill. We don\u2019t have a limit in the bill. That\u2019s Kathy Tran. She\u2019s the author of the legislation in Virginia. Let\u2019s start on the phones. People want to get in &#8212; and there are other things out there, too, but I could not in good conscience not lead with this today, but there\u2019s breakout news out there on the wall and all this stuff going on. Schumer\u2019s demanding the intelligence community essentially stage an intervention with Trump, which I thought that\u2019s what Mueller was doing.<\/p>\n<p>Here is Tom in Long Island. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Glad you\u2019re up first today. Welcome.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. I just wanted to say that I think the governor\u2019s clarification was as stupid as his comment. Who gets to decide what a birth defect is? I mean, is it a missing eye? Is it a missing arm? Is it a missing leg? I mean, if the baby can still live. I personally think that if they really want to stop abortion or get people to get it off the table, start telling people that they can figure out if the baby\u2019s homosexual or not and I guarantee you abortion will come off the table.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, well, at least for that group of people. I just made that point. Let me reiterate this because, you know, you\u2019re talking about who gets to decide what a birth defect is. We\u2019re normally thinking something like Down syndrome or other things. Remember all of these, all these birth defects and so forth, when they\u2019re in the hands of political people and not doctors, they are being used to promote abortion! This is what I\u2019ve never been able to make people understand.<\/p>\n<p>When you take this issue and you bring it home to the Democrat Party where it lives, take it out of the hands of doctors, when you\u2019ve essentially got Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer talking to you as a new mother or as a pregnant mother, they\u2019re gonna be advocating that you abort because that\u2019s how they win on the issue! They need as many abortions as they can get. Which is why they also need a never-ending supply of illegal immigrants to replace the underclass they are aborting!<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m telling you, when we get to the point &#8212; I want to repeat this again &#8212; where genetic science advances to the point we\u2019re gonna be able to tell you what kind of child you\u2019re gonna have at the fourth month, fifth month, or whatever, and we\u2019re somewhat there now. But you wait if they ever identify that homosexuality has a specific gene and they tell mom and dad, &#8220;Yeah, your child is likely going to be gay,&#8221; the fastest 180 from pro-choice to pro-life is gonna happen. The entire homosexual community, particularly the political aspect of it, is gonna become pro-life overnight.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, look. Let me remind everybody of something. Excuse me. I mentioned this in the first hour at the top of the program. This business in Virginia was defeated. It is not law of the land. Right now it is just the Democrat Party wish list. But this Kathy Tran idea of killing &#8212; the governor endorsed and spoke out. The Republicans defeated that 5-3 in a subcommittee vote, and the vote was to table the thing. But they only defeated it 5-3. Not 8 to nothing. There were three votes for this!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013019-Ralph-Northam-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013019-Ralph-Northam-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013019-Ralph-Northam-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And I want to you to know the names of the Democrats who voted for this abortion bill in Virginia. Vivian Watts of Annandale, Michael Mullin of the Tidewater area, and Jeffrey Bourne of Henrico County and Richmond. All of these are left-wing urban areas, and all three of these people voted for it. Now, everybody knew it wasn\u2019t gonna get out of committee. This is a stunt, so far. But as with everything on the left, whenever they do something it\u2019s not the end anything. It\u2019s just the beginning of something.<\/p>\n<p>This is the beginning of the next phase of where they want to take abortion. New York state\u2019s beat them to it. New York state\u2019s way ahead of them in Virginia. This is an attempt &#8212; you know what happens. It\u2019s the reverse of defining deviancy down. So they make the proposal to make it legal to terminate the life of a baby after it\u2019s born or at the moment it\u2019s being born. And everybody has the cow reaction, \u201cOh, my God. It\u2019s horrible, my God.\u201d You get that out of your system, and maybe two months later, six months later you come around and propose it again. And the reaction is a little less strenuous.<\/p>\n<p>And then you come back in maybe a year or two, you propose it again. This is how they wear people down on these things, by continually coming back, returning to issues and trying to get them passed. No defeat is ever a defeat. So what this is is a marker for where they want to go. They\u2019re not there yet in Virginia but it\u2019s where they want to go.<\/p>\n<p>Don in Newark, Ohio, you\u2019re next. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush Limbaugh. Can you tell me why it is men have no reproductive rights?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. I can tell you within the confines of the law. Why they have no reproductive rights culturally is another thing, but the simple and real answer to your question is found in Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade effectively granted women total sovereignty over their bodies. The fathers of the babies involved, the men involved have no right whatsoever by virtue of the demands of women who pushed the concept. So illegally it\u2019s Roe v. Wade that basically eliminates the role of any man in reproductive decisions. Now, culturally and societally, then your answer to that would be the Democrat Party, which is been pushing for women\u2019s rights, men are subjugating women, men are barbaric, men are brutes, men can\u2019t be trussed with their own kids. It\u2019s all part of that line of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It seems like it should be equal rights under the law thing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Not where liberalism &#8212; no. No. Men have no equality here. Men are the problem. See, all this is being done in reaction to all this patriarchal power that privileged white men have been exuding over this country since the founding. This is about getting even with men and white men for the mistreatment of women, the mistreatment of minorities, the mistreatment of the country, the mistreatment of sea turtles. This is what all of this is about. Folks, it may not sound like it\u2019s true, but it is.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know. If men have no rights over reproduction when a woman has kids then how can he be forced to pay child support? Because they are to blame for the suffering. And we will be back.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-Grit-0007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-Grit-0007.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-Grit-0007-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: First up &#8212; and this is from the Washington Examiner: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/virginia-lawmaker-apologizes-for-co-sponsoring-late-term-abortion-bill-without-reading-it\">Virginia Lawmaker Apologizes for Co-sponsoring Late-Term Abortion Bill without Reading It<\/a> &#8212; A state lawmaker in Virginia apologized to her constituents Thursday for failing to read controversial abortion legislation before she co-sponsored it. Delegate Dawn Adams (Democrat-Richmond), said she &#8216;made a mistake\u2019 when she did not read fellow Delegate Kathy Tran\u2019s bill that would allow abortions in the third trimester&#8221; and the fourth trimester.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we\u2019re calling here at the EIB Network post-birth: The fourth trimester.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But Rush, there can\u2019t be four in a three.&#8221; That\u2019s right. But since the Democrats are involved&#8230; Look, the point is to communicate, right? The fourth trimester. That\u2019s when they want to permit abortions to continue. Now, Dawn Adams said (impression), \u201cI vaguely remember signing on to this, and I did this in solidarity with my colleague and as a symbolic gesture for a woman\u2019s right to choose. I am sorry that I did not exercise due diligence before this explosion of attention; had I done so, I would not have co-patroned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See?<\/p>\n<p>(impression) &#8220;Don\u2019t hold it against me! I was just supporting a woman\u2019s right to choose, and I instinctively support a woman\u2019s right to choose because of all of the Brett Kavanaugh types that want to take it away.&#8221; I\u2019m extrapolating. She didn\u2019t really say that but that\u2019s what she meant. &#8220;I can\u2019t be blamed! I was simply protecting a woman\u2019s right to choose.&#8221; Now, the bill &#8212; again, just to remind you &#8212; &#8220;never made it out of subcommittee, galvanized the pro-life movement in Virginia and nationwide.&#8221; Governor Northam has said (summarized), &#8220;Hey, I said what I said but you took it out of context.&#8221; This woman, Dawn Adams, has apologized for cosponsoring without having read it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They&#039;re not trying to dial it back a little bit.
