opened this morning’s radio program with a candid monologue about why he is
pro-life. In light of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s recent comments about
“right-to-life” “extreme conservatives” not being welcome in his state and
prominent Republicans and Democrats stating abortion will be a major theme this
election cycle, Glenn decided it was time to broach the sensitive subject and
explain why he believes abortion is murder.
Well, get ready. Both political parties have said that
they plan to make abortion one of the main issues this election year. Now, why
are they doing that? Well, let me give you a real quick snapshot on Cuomo. The
reason why Cuomo came out and said: There’s no place for people who are
pro-life and everything else is because of Bill de Blasio. Bill has taken the
party over in New York, and the Democrats have fully gone leftist in New York.
Governor Cuomo is deciding now that he’s got to play a role in that, so he’s
got to go as hard left as he possibly can.
This show, while all of us here feel passionately about
abortion, we are intensely pro-life, we have never really focused on it. In
fact, it was one of those topics that we said we will never really talk about.
We don’t want to get into that because it’s so divisive, et cetera, et cetera.
And when you have a discussion about it, you just go back and forth in circles
and you usually get shouted down with some bull crap about back alley clinics
and a war on women. But since it’s about to become a major election issue, and
since New York Governor Cuomo has just made being pro-life a big reason for not
being welcome in his state, I am going to talk about it.
The biggest problem with this debate is that we as
conservatives have lost it. We lost it the day we allowed abortion supporters
to get away with the biggest language coup in the history of the world. And
because of that coup, the other side is not for killing babies. They are not
for mass genocide, which has taken the lives of 55 million children since 1973…
They are pro-choice. If we were simply trying to decide whether we have, you
know, Rice Krispies over Cap’n Crunch for breakfast, then I would understand
calling it pro-choice.
Now, how did this happen in a conversation that is so
unbelievably important? They still argue that all they really want is for
[abortions] to be safe and rare. But that’s all. Rare and safe. Let’s ask the
tens of thousands of women in the horrific abortion mills in Philadelphia and
Houston how safe their choice was in a story that the press didn’t want to
cover. Let’s ask the untold women whose lives have been torn apart by that
choice that you never see in the media because of an agenda. Mentally and
physically the relationships that have been destroyed with massive regret for
their entire life… Not to mention that with 1.2 to 2 million of those choices
every year, adding up to 55 million since 1973. Doesn’t really seem to be that
rare at all. Yeah, instead of the death of a baby, instead of the deaths of
tens of millions of babies, including a disproportionate number of minorities…
it is indeed just a woman’s right to choose.
Forget about the choice that she had about her spouse or
boyfriend or whoever had nine months earlier. See, that’s where choice comes
into play. That’s where choice comes into play… Forget about the choice she
makes at conception. None of that personal responsibility nonsense can even be
considered. There can’t be any consequences for anyone’s actions today. No man
must pay for his sins. You have to be allowed to choose what goes on with your
body. Women need to choose what goes on in their body and with their body.
[…]
But there again, the debate gets side tracked. We can’t
even call what’s in the womb life. Can’t do that. It’s not life at all… We have
come so far in the past 40 years since Roe vs. Wade. Now it’s some sort of
inhuman abuse of women. It’s an extreme violation to even ask a woman to look
at what is growing inside of her. Before you make the ultimate, irreversible
decision to end your baby’s life, just look at the ultrasound, see what is
inside of you. Look at how amazing this is. This is what we do if you’re
seeking an abortion in Texas. God bless the Republic of Texas. So why do
abortion providers and supporters so vehemently oppose a pre-abortion ultrasound?
Well, here’s the reason. Because 90% of the women who have one realize what is
in their womb is not tissue. It’s not a knife. It’s not a fork, a spoon, a
shoe. It’s a baby. It is her precious living human baby.
But the old adage is true. Control the language, control
the argument, control society. Nothing proves that point more vividly than the
abortion debate. The other side never even talks about a baby. No human life is
even involved at all. In fact, the father and his wishes never, ever even enter
into the equation. It’s about a woman and her right to choose, never about the
man. What does a man feel? If we object, we’re of course waging a war on women.
We’re the oppressors.
We’re the Nazis, which is really ironic, given the fact
that again, 55 million human beings were killed in this country and we’re the
ones who are trying to desperately stop this genocide because we’re the Nazis…
It is a genocide, and I know that’s strong language, but I’m sick and tired of
pussyfooting around on the subject. It is time for strong language… It’s
murder… I’m immovable. Abortion is murder. Period… The left tries to tell us
just as they do with global warming that the debate is over. It’s all settled.
Roe vs. Wade, 40 years ago. It’s a Constitutional right. Really? Show me that
Constitutional right. Show it to me… It doesn’t exist. It doesn’t exist in
either of our founding documents. It doesn’t exist in our Constitution. It
doesn’t exist in the Declaration of Independence. In fact, the preamble of the
Constitution specifically protects the unborn. Let me read it for you:
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, To ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.
Who are our posterity? Our unborn children – those who
should be born and will be born. And the Declaration of Independence protects
their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
[…]
But there are a couple of tough questions regarding
abortion. And actually, the first one for me isn’t tough at all: If the
mother’s life is in danger. I’m sorry, but if I have to choose between my wife
and the mother of my children, and the baby, I’m choosing my wife. Does this
make me inconsistent? Perhaps. Does it make me a flawed person? Perhaps it
does. Maybe we’ll try again for the baby, and Lord, forgive me, because I am
only human. But I need her. My other children need her. I think most people are
on board with that. Some people aren’t. And that’s fine. I’m flawed. I pray
that I can have a better understanding.
But here’s the really, really hard question. What about
the real choice of the woman? What if her right to choose to create a baby was
stolen from her [because of] rape? Now you have taken away her right to choose…
If you’re asking her to carry to term nine months, a baby from a monster – not
the baby’s fault, obviously – but from the woman’s perspective, that reminder,
that act of violence, that horrible violation, the trauma of that? I can’t even
begin to comprehend. And again, I know that makes me a flawed human. Maybe.
I’ve tried. I guess some people would ask her to carry the baby full term
because it is either killing a baby or it isn’t. But if she can’t deal with the
baby because of the circumstances of conception once the baby is born, give her
up for adoption. I understand, I have an adopted son. And he has changed my
life. But if it is my wife or daughter, I can’t demand that of her. Horrible
flaw in me, I’m sure. But it is who I am today.
But I want to make it very clear: The only reason why
they’re going to talk about abortion is because they win. They will separate us
and try to make us hate each other. The Republicans will do it to the Democrats
and the Democrats will do it to the Republicans. Don’t fall for that. But don’t
you dare shy away. We hold these truths to be self-evident for ourselves and
our posterity. We must stand up, square our shoulders, and be better than we
think we can be, as guardians of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
