Rush Limbaugh: Democrats 'Fear' Pregnancy, Are 'Aborting Their Own People' (VIDEO)

Rush Limbaugh went on a long rant about contraception, abortions and women on his Tuesday radio show.

He was reacting to recent developments surrounding birth control, which have included Komen's funding cut for Planned Parenthood and the Obama administration's mandate requiring all employers to cover contraception for workers.

Limbaugh was indignant about the hype around the issue. "Why is contraception so important that it must be paid for by somebody else?" he demanded to know. He asked why contraceptives are "a must-have" in comparison to toothpaste, hotel rooms or a car.

"Why are so many people afraid of birth?" he wondered.

Limbaugh then asked why the Democratic party would want to limit pregnancies, arguing that it makes money from abortions. He alleged that Planned Parenthood is part of "a money-laundering operation for the Democrat party" and that the organization "is rolling in dough" from providing abortion services. "So why would the Democrat party want to make sure that there aren't any pregnancies?" he challenged.

He asked why Democrats seem to "fear" pregnancy, claiming that they treat it like "a disease" and a "great health risk for women."

"Could it be that Democrats fear kids?" he wondered. "I mean, they are aborting their own people. The vast majority of people having abortions are Democrat voters."

Why are conservatives so afraid of sex that they obsess about everyone else's sexual habits and what they do with their bodies?

I really don't understand the GOP logic here ! I thought the GOP was for LESS Government ! Having an Unwanted kid just ADDS to the need for MORE Government help !

Just follow the LOGIC here ! Unwanted child enters the world. The chance for that child's neglect, and being un-loved, abused just increase ! The chances for the need for local, state and federal help in raising this child only INCREASE ! Then they become an adult, the chances of this child because of it's up bringing getting involved in bad behaivers and then getting into trouble, and again the Goverments involvement in arrest , reform etc. I thought the GOP was for LESS Goverment, if you follow the logic, it only means MORE Governmet!

The right wingers state that life begins at fertilization - so for them, contraceptives are a form of abortion. So is that why they are so against having contraceptives be covered? So if the far right has their way, contraceptives will be outlawed.

Someday a brave journalist will give the inside scoop on the boat trips Rush takes, outside of US jurisdiction, with women of questionable age...

Absolutely anything to get attention. Like a spoiled 2 year old - same level of intelligence (well, almost), same level of maturity (well, almost), same emotional development (well, almost), same level of self awareness (well, almost)......

Never mind the Linsanity over basketball Jeremy Lin. Limbaugh's "Limsanity" is much more entertaining and funny.

The garbage that spews from Rush's mouth is truly amazing. Amazing that anyone is still listening. He's not even funny to laugh at anymore just some lunatic off his meds.

Rush Limbaugh is the only person on the planet whose GPA in college and his IQ are the same-zero. He lacks common sense,originality and a clue.
