RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, apparently there is a billboard, or was -- I have a picture of it here -- there was a billboard in New York City that has been pulled down. It was a picture of a little African-American girl. "An outdoor advertising company has taken down a New York City anti-abortion billboard that showed a black girl along with the tagline, 'The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb.' A manager for Louisiana-based Lamar Advertising confirmed Thursday the company had decided to take down the billboard. Some black residents said they found it offensive. The Rev. Al Sharpton praised the decision and canceled plans to protest the billboard." Does Reverend Sharpton believe that having half of New York City pregnancies end in abortion is a good thing for the black community? You know, this is the dirty little secret here. This billboard was in Soho, by the way, the trendy uber expensive Soho district.
"According to the Gothamist, the advertising company actually took the sign down 'because they were worried about the waiters and waitresses in the building’s restaurant.'" Now, apparently it is racist to try to save black children from abortion. This is really stunning here. "The billboard was placed in a busy Manhattan neighborhood by the group Life Always as part of a national campaign tied to Black History Month. The group says its message highlights Planned Parenthood’s 'targeting of minority neighborhoods.' Planned Parenthood called the advertisement a 'condescending effort to stigmatize and shame African-American women.'" Some black activists are now complaining that Planned Parenthood has more clinics in black neighborhoods than anywhere else, which, folks, was the dream of Margaret Sanger. Eugenics anybody? She was the founder of Planned Parenthood and it wasn't about family planning. It was about -- how to say this? Okay. It was about genocide of black people. That's what it was about. And the numbers of abortions in the black community, what's the number I saw? Forty-seven percent of African-American pregnancies are terminated in New York City. It's really, really high. The exact number escapes me, but I think I saw the number 47%. Forty-seven percent of African-American pregnancies are terminated.
So they put the billboard up, "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb." Tear it down. Get rid of it. Sharpton was going to protest, and now he's not going to protest. It is interesting the things to protest, protest a billboard here. But, yeah, half of New York City pregnancies in abortion. I don't understand. I mean I do, but intellectually I don't. Politically I understand, but intellectually I don't understand how anybody claiming to be an advocate for African-Americans can sit idly by while half of black pregnancies in New York City were aborted. Take the race out of it, that's horrible. The billboard, if you just go by statistics, was accurate. The billboard was accurate. Had to tear it down. Well, interloper into Liberalville, Soho, interloper outside the city, Louisiana based Lamar Advertising, they had decided to take it down because some black residents said they found it offensive. I'll bet they did find it offensive. Anyway, Margaret Sanger, I guess, is smiling somewhere.

RUSH: Here's the number on the abortion rate for black women in New York City. It's just under 60%. It's 59-point-something percent. Now, we're approaching the stupidity now of the dropout rate in school. Snerdley, we discussed this within the last three months in an unrelated story, it was unrelated to the billboard. New York City is the abortion capital of the world. I think it's 59.7%. From the New York Times: "Mr. Fieler said the event was prompted by the release last month of city health department statistics showing a 41 percent rate of abortion overall in 2009, including a rate close to 60 percent for black women," in New York. I distinctly remember this, now. The New York City abortion rate, 41%, nearly 60% in the African-American community in New York City, and if you want to really stir things up, talk about who owns and runs Planned Parenthood, and where are these clinics being put? They're being put in black neighborhoods. Who's making money? Who's profiting? Liberals, leftists, obviously, pro-abortion types.
Who's defending them? Somebody puts up a billboard trying to defend them and they get run out of town by Al Sharpton and the rest. My God, folks, this is intolerable. (interruption) Well, I don't know if we could go that far. (laughing) Planned Parenthood is doing the job the Klan could never finish, is that what you think? I don't know. But that's unacceptable, a 60% abortion rate among black women in New York City, and then you turn around and look at who they're probably voting for, under what premise? They're voting for Democrats under the premise that Democrats care about 'em. They're voting for 'em under the premise that Democrats are gonna protect 'em, that Democrats are gonna protect 'em from racism and sexism and bigotry and homophobia and all these other rotten things that conservative Republicans are doing to them. (interruption) It was a black minister who put up the billboard? A black minister was responsible for the billboard, from Louisiana, or Alabama, wherever it was, a black minister put the billboard up and the Reverend Sharpton came along and was threatening to protest the billboard. Stop and think of this. Would you be voting for, giving money to, marching for, supporting a party that is quasi-responsible for 60% of your babies being killed?
RUSH: All right, they had to take that billboard down. "The most dangerous place to be for an African-American is in the womb." They took that billboard down. It was on the side of a building in SoHo. They took the billboard down over concerns about the safety of the people who worked in the building where the billboard was posted. This is the new civility. They tell us it's the Tea Party that's gonna blow up things and cause all kinds of problems. Who would be threatening people inside the building? Pro-choicers, the pro-abort crowd, which just can't stand to see the results of their handiwork, apparently, on display.
They ought to be proud! I mean, if you're a pro-abort type -- if you're pro-choice, if you're pro-Planned Parenthood -- and you learn that the abortion rate in New York City's 41%, don't you throw a party? That's a hell of a success rate! And then when you learn that the African-American abortion rate is almost 60%, why, my gosh! If you have that kind of success, you need a bonus -- and yet to put that billboard up might cause violence from the peace-loving left, so they have to take it down? We went back and we looked at the archives at RushLimbaugh.com. It was a Ronald Brownstein story on January 7th where we had these numbers.
The numbers came from CatholicVote.org. The abortion rate in New York City: 41%. ABC News had it at 41%. The Wall Street Journal: 41.3%, 41.3 Hispanic, but Ronald Brownstein with the National Journal had a story: "White Flight and Abortion Could Spell Doom for Democrats' Future." He saw these numbers, and he said: Well, these are all Democrat voters that are being aborted! Which we have mentioned on this program. We have always said if you just be patient, folks, the Democrats are aborting themselves out of a majority. We weren't talking about specific races, just New York City (Mecca!) 41% of pregnancies are aborted. Who's doing that? The Democrats are wiping themselves out, and you still don't see any big celebratory parties taking place.
That's a tremendous success rate. |
