<\/p>\nRUSH: There\u2019s a former congressman from Virginia. His name is Jim Moran, and he\u2019s a locoweed. Did you hear what he said about Northam? He said Northam has been “ambushed by a yearbook photo.” Ambushed by a yearbook photo! I think the story going around is that somebody who was just repulsed and appalled… Somebody who went to med school with Northam was appalled at what he had had to say about late-term abortion, day-of-birth abortion, postbirth abortion, and leaked all of this blackface photo and yearbook stuff.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now Northam\u2019s defenders say he was “ambushed by a yearbook photo,” an inanimate object that by itself cannot move or do anything. He was ambushed by this. “Ralph Northam is denying being in the racist photo, but he recalls darkening his skin in a Michael Jackson dance contest in 1984. He said he doesn\u2019t believe he is either person in the racist photo that appeared in the \u201984 yearbook,” which has now ambushed him, “but that he did once darken his face to resemble Michael Jackson during a dance contest in 1984.”<\/p>\n

“In a remarkable, hour-long news conference at the Governor\u2019s Mansion in Richmond, Northam defended himself from the cacophony of calls for his resignation, but acknowledged that he had made mistakes on race in his past, like when … he darkened his face” for the dance contest. He was gonna do the moonwalk, too! He was gonna do the moonwalk during the press conference. His wife moved in and stopped him. “I believe now and then that I am not either of the people in this photo.” (laughing)<\/p>\n
(impression) That\u2019s not me. I\u2019m not that person. This is not who I am. I — I apologize anybody who might have been offended by it. “He denied that he had ever worn a KKK robe and hood or been drunk enough to forget a moment like this. ‘This is not me in that picture. That was not Ralph Northam.'” The interesting thing is that you remember…? Contrast this with the Trump Access Hollywood video. When that came out, and that was strategically timed, that release. That was before a debate with Hillary Clinton. That was to take Trump out of the race.<\/p>\n
He survived it. (interruption) Yeah, he\u2019s got a nickname. Can we say this name?<\/p>\n
There are so many parts of this story that I don\u2019t… CNN, when they reported on this over the weekend, put an (R) by his name. Are you aware of that? CNN portrayed the guy as a Republican! Graphically. Instead of a (D) next to his name they had an (R) next to his name. So the Access Hollywood video was supposed to be take Trump out. I was one of a handful of people who knew that it wouldn\u2019t. I knew that Trump\u2019s voters wouldn\u2019t abandon him over this, for reasons I\u2019ve already explained.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020419-Northam.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
But everybody in politics thought that was it. It was just a matter of time and Trump would resign, that his entire support group would abandon him. And many people did. The Republican Party was all over the place, Democrats… You look at the people trying to circle the wagons around this idiot. There are people. Not all of them, but there are some people trying to circle the wagons and save this guy. What he has done here… You cannot ignore what he has done and what he\u2019s trying to ride out and thus defend. He finally has a given up the ghost.<\/p>\n
Ralph Northam has made clear for everybody what the pro-choice movement really is.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a pro-death movement.<\/p>\n
It has always been couched as a civil rights or human rights or women\u2019s rights issue. A woman\u2019s right to choose. You can\u2019t tell a woman what she can or can\u2019t do with her own body. He has made it clear that the objective here is abortion. It\u2019s sick. Decent people can\u2019t understand it. Decent people cannot understand. What is the political value in amassing a bunch of reporters who want the freedom to kill babies? It\u2019s something that escapes people. These decent people can\u2019t understand this, being a political objective that you use to try to gain supporters. But that\u2019s what this guy has let be known as the actual purpose of the pro-choice (so-called) movement.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Franklin, Indiana. Steve. Great to have you, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. I think the reason that the governor of Virginia feels like he\u2019s been ambushed or people think that he\u2019s been ambushed… I think that\u2019s wrong. I think he\u2019s been rescued by having these pictures come out so that they don\u2019t have to talk about his views on abortion.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that\u2019s an interesting take. So somebody hears what he says about aborting children on the day they\u2019re born or afterwards, and immediately here comes the yearbook stuff showing this guy to be a Klansman — a white racist, whatever, who has no sensitivity — and that then takes the other stuff off the page?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I think you\u2019re right to a certain extent. That stuff has taken the actual outrage of what this guy believes regarding abortion. It\u2019s no longer the focal point of the story. That\u2019s actually very true. It\u2019s still out there depending on where you go. In conservative media, they have not dropped that aspect of it. But, boy, the Drive-Bys don\u2019t even want to touch that and instead are focusing on these other things. So it\u2019s a good observation, and I\u2019m glad you called. Brevity is the soul of wit and you got it in there in a minute. That\u2019s even better.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Tracy in Jackson, Michigan. Hi. Great to have you with us on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey! How are you? Thank you so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020419-Northam-99.jpg\")
CALLER: So my thought is this. We have socialism just everywhere in our country right now. We have the government and all these Dems who are trying to give us government-run health insurance. We have all these states that are now passing late-term abortion. It makes me wonder. If all of these things continue to happen, is the next step gonna be forced abortion from doctors when a mother finds out early on she\u2019s carrying a baby that\u2019s not gonna be perfect, that\u2019s gonna have Down syndrome, spina bifida, or some other genetic abnormality?<\/p>\n
RUSH: I have long thought that that was going to happen regardless of politics, Tracy. I\u2019ve long thought with the advancements made in genetics, that it\u2019s going to eventually get there. Just like with amniocentesis, we can identify certain birth detects in the womb, and we give parents a choice. When we\u2019re able to identify various other things that people might consider less than perfect… Like a lot of people don\u2019t want a redheaded kid. A lot of people will tell you, “I don\u2019t want a child that\u2019s going to be bullied. I don\u2019t a child like that. So what will that be? I don\u2019t want…”<\/p>\n
If the doctor can someday tell you, “Your child has the gene here that we have learned makes it very likely that he\u2019s gonna be battling his weight his entire life…” “You mean my kid\u2019s gonna be fat?” “The odds are, yes.” “I don\u2019t want that!” “Well, if you don\u2019t want the child, there are certain steps we can take right now,” and then they identify others. I think this is gonna happen long before politics got involved. Now you add politics to it, and I think the opportunities for this kind of selection are going to be rampant.<\/p>\n
You know what you\u2019re not supposed to say is that Planned Parenthood was founded for this express purpose. “Everybody thinks that Planned Parenthood is about planning families, Mr. Limbaugh. This is so people can know how many children to have and how much it costs to support them and what it\u2019s going to take to raise them. Planned Parenthood\u2019s wonderful.” There\u2019s nothing parenthood about Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood? You know what? With every abortion of a black child, it ought to say, “Margaret Sanger for the win,” because Planned Parenthood was about eugenics.<\/p>\n
Planned Parenthood was about eliminating babies thought to be deficient because of some characteristic — and back in the Margaret Sanger days, that was race. I find it fascinating that that charter has been wholly adopted by the Democrat Party. I saw a chilling picture. Somebody sent me an email that had a still shot ad — like a billboard shot photo — for Planned Parenthood. It was three African-Americans, a mother and a father and somebody. It was talking about the magic and the wonders of Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n
I saw it right there.<\/p>\n
Planned Parenthood is aborting African-American babies, and the Democrat Party is supporting it hook, line, and sinker. Planned Parenthood is one of the reasons the Democrats need open borders. Most of the people aborted in this country are Democrats, or would-be Democrats. They gotta be replaced. What better way to do it than with open borders and illegal immigration, which eventually will have amnesty and voting rights and so forth. Now you add the Ralph Northam and the New York State law… By the way, it\u2019s not just Ralph Northam!<\/p>\n
You know, New York state\u2019s getting a pass, but they are identical to Ralph Northam! They beat Ralph Northam to the punch, in fact! New York state legalized everything Northam\u2019s talking about, including abortion after a failed abortion, death after a birth. And they gave it a standing ovation in the New York State Senate. Now, nobody\u2019s talking about that because the Northam story has dwarfed it. But it\u2019s already begun. Right now, it\u2019s supposedly for the health of the mother, the choice of the mother, or what have you.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s devious where it is headed, because of one thing: For any of this to be happening, there has to be an accompanying decline in the appreciation of the sanctity of life. What it means to me is that there is an accelerating decline in God if the lives of many people. If there\u2019s no God in your life, then there\u2019s no stopping aberrant, murderous-type behavior. If there\u2019s no God, if there\u2019s no judgmentalism, if there\u2019s no built-in morality, if there\u2019s no apparent price, then what obstacle is there to base, depraved behavior? This is where all of this has been already taking us since 1973, I believe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Howard in upstate New York. Great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, how are you doing today, Rush?<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m doing great, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. I was listening to the New York news as I was driving around, and they reported on a woman, unfortunately, that had been stabbed and killed by her boyfriend, but they also reported that her baby did not survive. Now, how can that be? That baby shouldn\u2019t even be in the equation.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute. This is gonna be fascinating. In the old days, just so I understand this, she was pregnant?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: How far along was she, do you know?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Five months.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Five months. It wasn\u2019t that long ago that you could be charged double homicide for this.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, that\u2019s not gonna happen now because —<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-071118-Liberalism-vs-Americanism-RUSH-1.jpg\")
RUSH: Well, no! I don\u2019t know. If you can abort a baby, if you can kill a baby after it\u2019s born, then how in the hell can you be accused — I\u2019ll tell you what it\u2019s gonna come down to — and this is where we are — it\u2019s gonna come down to the intent of the mother. That baby isn\u2019t anything until the mother decides that she wants to give birth to it to keep it up until that moment.<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s nothing the father can say about it. The father has absolutely zero reproductive rights. This is according to Roe v. Wade. A woman\u2019s right to choose. And so the determinant is going to be, does the mother, in this case in your story, the five month pregnant woman, did she want the baby. If she did, if everybody thought she was gonna carry it to term, then there could be double homicide here. If she didn\u2019t, then it may not exist.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Correct. But who\u2019s to say that, you know, five months along she wants the baby and then all of a sudden when she\u2019s eight months along, \u201cWell, maybe I don\u2019t want the baby.\u201d So how are they gonna prove it?<\/p>\n
RUSH: I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not a lawyer on this. But common sense would say the last expressed act by her would indicate, if she\u2019s doing things to promote the pregnancy, protect the baby then you\u2019d have to conclude that she wants the baby. Then the feminists will come along, you don\u2019t know what might have happened in the next three months. The feminists are gonna be on the warpath. Look. This has already happened too. A great example of this happened. I remember this. It\u2019s coming back to me like crystal clear.<\/p>\n
A woman was pregnant, and she became brain-dead somehow. I don\u2019t think it was an assault. But her baby was continuing to grow, even though she was brain-dead. The argument ensued over whether or not life support should be removed from the mother or kept so that the baby could be born. The father — they were not married — the father wanted the baby. The feminist groups said, “Screw you” and advocated for life support being taken off the mother. I think they were lobbying the woman\u2019s family to remove life support.<\/p>\n
They did not want that baby born, and they did not want that unmarried father getting it because that would throw Roe v. Wade upside down legally. This is back in the nineties when this happened, some time ago. And I don\u2019t remember how it ended. But I remember the argument and it was vicious. The feminist groups wanted life support removed from the mother so that the baby would die. The father wanted the baby and he had his group of people that were all lobbying for doctors to keep life support connected \u2019cause he wanted the baby and he said they wanted the baby, her intention was to have the baby.<\/p>\n
The feminist groups did not want any way under the sun that guy was gonna get the baby because that would have meant that men had reproductive rights. And they can\u2019t permit that politically. So in a sense, it\u2019s not exactly the scenario that you\u2019re describing, but that happened. And I thought, when it happened, by the way, I thought, “Well, this is all we need. This is going to illustrate exactly who the feminists are, exactly what abortion\u2019s all about.”<\/p>\n
And I don\u2019t think it moved the needle at all. And probably the reason it didn\u2019t move the needle is because the Drive-By Media didn\u2019t report this as factually and openly and honestly as I just told you about the story. They cast this in so many different confusing lights that it didn\u2019t ever create solid public opinion pro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
