RUSH: I have been hogging most of the busy broadcast day so far, so let\u2019s get back to the phones because a lot of people have been holding on since the first hour. Riverdale, New Jersey, Carrie, you\u2019re next. Thank you for waiting and hi.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062818-Rush-Liberals-Reject.jpg\")
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I was calling in reference to these extreme abortion bills that are going through New York and Virginia. And, you know, in most cases, many decisions the woman makes about her body leading up to pregnancy should be, I think, considered. And, you know, there\u2019s other choices —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait just in minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I want to make sure I understood what you just said. You just said that women ought to be thinking the ways they use their body leading up to pregnancy?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, those are decisions that they themselves, in most cases, are making themselves.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You mean like rather to actually bang somebody or not?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. That\u2019s what I thought you meant. See, those are fighting words.<\/p>\n
CALLER: We don\u2019t hold anybody accountable for their actions anymore in the U.S., so I guess I —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, certain people we do. Certain people, but pregnant women, you\u2019re right, we don\u2019t, but certain people we do.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly. But there\u2019s adoption. Nobody even talks about that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me ask this. Let\u2019s construct a scenario. We\u2019ve got a woman who\u2019s dilated, giving birth, and here comes a doctor, and here comes the whoever, counseling, \u201cIf you don\u2019t want the child, we can take care of it, we can abort the baby.\u201d Where is the adoption option in that circumstance? Why is the adoption option not presented? Why does the Democrat Party not even go in that direction? You have a theory on that?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I don\u2019t. Do you?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, yeah, I know exactly why. I know exactly why. Adoption does not further the political objective accompanied by every abortion. That\u2019s why Planned Parenthood has people stationed outside adoption agencies, when a pregnant woman is seen walking in one, Planned Parenthood will intercept, interrupt, and try to talk them out of adopting. It\u2019s a money thing too. They get paid for abortions. Hang on. I know I took some of your time so don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Back now to Carrie in Riverdale, New Jersey. You were on a roll and making a couple points, and you triggered me. I interrupted you a couple times. So I\u2019m gonna back out here and let you make the original point you wanted to make, and that is that we\u2019re not being strict enough or condemnatory enough of the decisions that are being made that lead to these problems in the first place, right?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-013119-Turtels.jpg\")
CALLER: Yes. That is absolutely one of my points. You know, I feel like our culture has declined so much that we offer more protections for baby turtles, as you have brought up, than we do for human babies. It\u2019s just outrageous. And, you know, the clip that you had just played before about the lady that was speaking with Obama. She had her hundred-year-old mother, I believe it was, who wanted this procedure, and under Obamacare they can\u2019t have it? Well, where is it saying that that woman can decide and her doctor can decide what she does with her body? Why is it different in that aspect than it is for someone who\u2019s pregnant?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Bingo. Exactly. This is how politics — left-wing, liberal politics — corrupts things. You\u2019re exactly right. Why does that woman have to go to Barack Obama and ask his permission for her mother to continue living? Why can\u2019t her mother and her doctor, if they\u2019ve got the money, decide this on their own? Why? Because Obamacare did not allow you to use your own money. That\u2019s why this special on ABC took place. It was for Obama to explain how his health care overhaul was gonna work.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why people had questions about it, and so here comes the government saying, “No…” You see, the Democrat Party… Note the decision. In the case of the daughter and her 105-year-old mother, “No, we can\u2019t let that woman continue to live.” The baby that\u2019s just born in Virginia? “Nah! If that mother doesn\u2019t want the baby to live, it won\u2019t.” Look at what they are… I don\u2019t know how else to say it. They\u2019re siding with death, and they\u2019re doing it with the elderly as well.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You know, \u2019cause I think a lot of pro-choice people are… You know, they\u2019re okay with it to a certain point. But I really don\u2019t know anybody that\u2019s on board with these really extreme… I mean, the baby is born!<\/p>\n
RUSH: Exactly!<\/p>\n
CALLER: That is not abortion anymore.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. This is not the mind-set of the American people. This is being done outside and beyond the will of the American people. This is being done without the imprimatur of the American people. This is the Democrat Party mandating all these things. Most of the people you\u2019re talking about, the women you know that are fully pro-choice, have bought the other arguments. They have bought the “woman\u2019s right to choose.” They have bought, “It may be an illness. A pregnancy may be a psychological disorder.<\/p>\n
“Who would want to bring a baby into this world?” Whatever arguments that allow women empowerment is what most of the pro-choice women that you know use to support the concept of pro-choice, which is abortion. You notice none of them want to admit what\u2019s going on. They don\u2019t ever want to talk about that. That\u2019s what\u2019s noteworthy about this. The leaders in the Democrat Party are no longer hiding behind any of that. They are just now coming out up front and out loud with standing ovations, applauding what they\u2019re actually doing: killing babies.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what\u2019s remarkable about this — and your point about the sea turtles? Folks, she\u2019s exactly right. There are more pages… You would not believe it. I have some friends who finally got elected to public office down here. I said, “Would you look into this turtle-light restriction? I want to know what I\u2019m up against here.” Not to belabor it, but for eight months of the year, those of us that live on the Atlantic Ocean side of the state of Florida — for eight months a year — we\u2019re not allowed to have any landscaping lighting on at all if we live on the beach.<\/p>\n
Even if we\u2019re 250 yards from the beach, no landscape lighting and no outside lighting that might be illuminating, say, the roof or the second floor of the house. Because sea turtles… Which (snort!) don\u2019t begin to hatch until May anyway, yet the restrictions start on March 1st. And we get warning after warning after warning from local authorities telling us that the lights have to go off soon and that there will be inspectors on the beach looking and watching. Occasionally, they\u2019ll report somebody and send the cops to the house just to harass them whether or not they\u2019re in violation of anything.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-100918-Liberals.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The theory is that lights cause the sea turtles that hatch not to go to the ocean (where 90% of them are eaten anyway), but instead turn inland where they die \u2019cause they\u2019re supposed to go to the ocean. So I asked some friends, “Look, what are we up against here?” The decision involves about 14 different state bureaucracies and the United States Fish and Game bureaucracy. It involves counties. It involves local voting precincts. It involves the entire state.<\/p>\n
The number of pages that are redundant spelling out the regulations are such it would take you 10 years to eliminate them all if you could find any support for doing it! But nobody on the beach wants to bother with it, which is another sore spot. This fear of authority, this never-ending — in fact, rising — fear of authority. “You want me to turn out my lights?” Many people have lights for security reasons. “You want me to turn my lights off so that the turtles don\u2019t get confused?<\/p>\n
“Okay, I\u2019ll do it if you leave me alone. If you leave me alone, I\u2019ll do it.” They turn around and want you to do something else, and you say, “Okay, if you leave me alone,” and it bugs me. It bugs me that there is such a rampant fear of authority. I understand it. But this fear, this rampant fear of authority is how they win all the time! But the point is, look at all of these regulations that these different agencies have mobilized to protect sea turtle hatchlings.<\/p>\n
A human baby doesn\u2019t have anywhere near this kind of protection. In the sea turtle comparison, there\u2019s not a single person I know that wants the sea turtles to die, the hatchlings. There\u2019s not a single one of us that wants them to die. The Democrat Party can\u2019t say that. The equivalent on the sea turtle side of the human baby side is there are people actively making it possible for a baby to be killed in order to not water down or weaken abortion at all.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not only the hatchlings.<\/p>\n
Once the mama sea turtle (which is a mammoth creature) returns to the beach and lays her eggs, the environmentalist wackos are out there on the beach, and they plant little red flags at every nest, and they have people out there guarding \u2019em, and people on the beach are not allowed to walk anywhere near where those nests are. “You gotta protect those eggs in the womb,” which is the beach, in the case of the sea turtle. We don\u2019t afford anywhere near this the kind of protection for babies in the womb — and I am not exaggerating at all!<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-051718-Rush-On-Fire-APP-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Now, what kind of people are they that could have these inordinate, beyond reasonable demands on the protection of sea turtles or pick your other animal, and be the same exact people who applaud with a standing ovation the killing of a human baby? There\u2019s nothing reasonable about this, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m at my wits\u2019 end trying to convince people what liberalism is and who liberals are and why the only smart thing for anybody to do is to instinctively reject liberals and liberalism. It\u2019s not even worth taking the time to give them a chance.<\/p>\n
They are instantly worth being rejected. Their ideas, their policies, the evidence is all over the world what happens to people under the rule of liberalism, socialism, communism, tyranny, totalitarianism, whatever ism you want to call that is a root relationship to liberalism.<\/p>\n
I want to show you how the media deals with this. Virginia. Kathy Tran, the delegate, who has admitted that her bill allows for the ending of the life of a baby after it is born. The Washington Post in the Virginia politics section, headline: \u201cUntil This Week, Del. Kathy Tran Was Known For Nursing Her Baby On The House Floor. Now Republicans Are Calling Her A Baby Killer.” Not much bias there, is there? We\u2019re not calling her a baby killer. We are pointing it out. Not calling her anything. We\u2019re simply reacting to what her legislation does!<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Tran-e1548959501808.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
But here comes the Washington Post, \u201cKathy Tran, until last week, known for nursing her daughter on the house floor. Now Republicans are calling her a baby killer.\u201d See? The lesson is, whatever liberals do, do not call them out, do not be honest about it or we\u2019re gonna come and destroy you. You remember when Barack Obama was talking about his two daughters and at one point he said he wouldn\u2019t want his kids punished with a baby? Oh, yes, he did! He wouldn\u2019t want them punished with a baby. He\u2019s talking about when they\u2019re relatively young.<\/p>\n
I think, folks, you could make a case that the Democrat Party and the American left are actually engaged in child abuse on a bunch of different levels in our country. I think abortion is child abuse. And then selling baby parts, I mean, you\u2019ve got to abort the child to be able to do that. I think what has become of our public education system in way too many places with the maleducation, the ill-education, the poisoning of the minds, that\u2019s child abuse.<\/p>\n
The trashing of things that work, that are glue that keep societies together, like family and church, the Democrat Party has been attacking and assaulting things. The damage done to children, they\u2019ve been promoting the oddest definition of family. Single-parent family, family with a mother and a father and a third spouse is an animal. I mean, we\u2019ve got all kinds of things that you add it up and it is simply child abuse. It is the denial of any exposure to normalcy!<\/p>\n
How about the hypersexualization of young people? Sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is child abuse. Child prostitution, unnecessary gender confusion, gender changing drugs and surgery for children? Not to mention what\u2019s being done to take masculinity out of manhood. I mean, depending on where you look and how you look at things, there\u2019s a massive amount of child abuse going on in the American political system, which means by the American left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
