Much of the cultural and economic decay facing
America can be traced to the more than 50 million abortions performed since the
1972 Roe v. Wade decision, Rush Limbaugh
says.
And the current push for legal status for illegal immigrants is a result of needing to replace the aborted, Limbaugh said.
"Fifty-two million taxpayers haven't been born, is the way Washington looks at it," Limbaugh said on his radio show on Friday. "They don't look at it morally. They don't look at it in any kind of cultural way or any kind of cultural impact. They just say … we have 52 million fewer people paying taxes. We gotta replace 'em. Hello, amnesty."
But beyond that, abortion has had a role in destroying society, Limbaugh said. Most people see abortion simply as a woman's right to choose, he said, but the impact has been much wider. "It's had an impact on crime. It's had a profound impact on our politics. It is at the root of our cultural rot and decay."
Limbaugh said no one wants to accept responsibility for his or her actions anymore. "And I'm not talking about the women," he said. "I'm talking the overall effect of a society having literally no problem with eliminating 52 million of its citizens. That can't be good."
Limbaugh noted that Americans still feel guilt over slavery, yet aren't bothered by abortion.
"I think it is the cause of so much that seems to be inexplicable to people," he said. "Why are 10-year-olds shooting each other to death in Chicago? Why is our society so permissive, anything goes, the more ribald, the better? The more honorable, the more boring it is said to be."
