Now Infanticide Is Legal in New York

Rush: “You’ve gotta stop talking about abortion! We’re losing! I can’t tell you the number of moderate — so-called moderate — Republican women who wouldn’t know fighting back against the Democrats if their kid lives depended on it, coming up to me, “You gotta stop talking about abortion and you gotta get them to stop! It’s killing us. We’re never gonna win a thing.” So the thinking was that if we would just stop talking about “the social issues,” which is where we were losing everything! That’s where the culture war was taking, was where we were losing our society, losing our morality, losing our culture.

So the great moderates on our side were constantly advocating, “Forget the social issues. Don’t talk about abortion. It embarrasses me. It embarrasses us. We have to go to convention and hang around those people. We need to focus on the economy. We need to focus on telling people we’re best for their back pockets.” So that the left was never engaged, folks, except from the sidelines by us.

The left was never engaged, and they still aren’t being, other than by Trump, as they attempt to essentially destroy — literally blow up — the moral foundation of the founding of this country.

Well, I don’t know the name of the bill. But this was in the New York Senate yesterday. Ready for this? “By a vote of 38-24, abortion was voted on in the New York Senate to be added to the New York Constitution as a constitutional right.” But wait. We’re just getting started. The New York State Senate yesterday voted 38-24 “to allow nonphysicians to perform abortions.” The New York State Senate voted yesterday 38-24 “to allow abortion through the third trimester.”

But the pure evil is in the last part of the bill. The New York State Senate voted 38-24 yesterday “to repeal protections for babies that survive abortions.” The abortion business in New York has just been voted on as constitutional by the New York State Senate. Now, here in Florida, I could be minding my own business and a cop can come to my front gate and demand to come into my backyard and check my lights if there is an allegation that one turtle egg might hatch and not go to the ocean.

But killing a baby in New York after it survives an abortion is legal — and was applauded in a standing ovation in the New York State Senate chamber.

They were celebrating. I think the move is that you can now get a legal abortion in New York up to your due date. Now, this is the Senate. This is just the State Senate vote we’re talking about. This is what happens when there’s no pushback, and our side was telling us to abandon this! It was the focal point and the crux of the culture war. The entire fight over the value of life, the value of human life — which has now, on the left, becomes secondary in status to turtle eggs in south Florida or to any number of other of animals in certain circumstances.
