RUSH: Here's Arthur in Dallas as we head to the phones. Arthur, great to have you on the program. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Hi. Great to be on the show, sir.
RUSH: Great to have you here.
CALLER: I wanted to call. I've been listening as I drive around today and you had mentioned with RU-486 being legalized, there is no point anymore to, uh, birth control pills has been the systematic thing for the last I don't know how many years, didn't mention a time. Birth control pills do not just greatly decrease the chance of pregnancy, they also help balance hormones and help alleviate the stresses of menstruation at least, as I've been led to understand.
RUSH: How many 15-year-olds know this?
CALLER: I'm sorry?
RUSH: How many 15-year-olds know this? You can buy the morning-after pill now over-the-counter when you're 15. They don't know anything of this stuff. It's a birth control measure, is expressly what it's for.
CALLER: You know, I can agree on that point, but I have to ask then, why aren't we doing more to sexually educate our young people beyond abstinence only? Why aren't we willing to have real conversations about --
RUSH: I thought we had sex education. What would you tell them?
CALLER: What would I tell them?
RUSH: Outline it for me, what would be a responsible sex education program?
CALLER: A responsible sex education. Well, if we approach it from the idea that if it's going to happen, it should at least be safe. We would probably cut down on the amount of abortion and these kinds of problems if we actually said it beyond, what is it, this abstinence only ideal of never do it and -- well, it all needs to be serious.
RUSH: I know it's old-fashioned, but the problem is, you know, abstinence works every time it's tried. Every time it's tried, it works. And I don't know what kind of common sense there is in encouraging 15-year-olds to be going out there and having sex like they're minks. I just don't understand it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So we had the guy from Dallas say, "You know, I heard what you said about the morning-after birth control pill for girls being made available now over-the-counter at age 15, no prescription." His point was, "Well, you know, sex education, we need to improve it. We need to make it responsible." Wha? I thought sex education started in kindergarten in this country. He said, "We can't just make it abstinence." I didn't think it was. I thought abstinence had long ago vanished, except in responsible places.
The thing about abstinence is it works every time it's tried. (laughing) It just does. But, see, that takes the fun out of life. You know, abstinence establishes a guardrail, and the left doesn't want any guardrails in society. They don't want any limits, and they certainly don't want us setting them. That bugs 'em more than anything. So did you hear this guy? "Look, they're gonna do it anyway. We may as well make it safe and clean."
I remember taking phone calls from Long Island parents back in the mid-nineties when the concept of free condoms in high schools came up. The thinking back then was... I actually had mothers from Long Island called here and say, "Well, I'm going to make a room available in our home for my son and his girlfriend. I'd rather them have sex in there than in the car 'cause it'll be cleaner."
I'll never forget this. I said, "Well, are you gonna provide the cigarettes on the night table for afterward?"
"Well, no! They can't smoke."
"Why not? They're gonna smoke. You can't stop 'em from smoking. You can't stop 'em from having sex," which makes me think.
In school, why don't we start teaching gun safety instead of just the fact that guns are bad? Well, I'm just saying. Let's use the same parallels that the left tells us about sex education and transfer it to guns. "Kids are gonna do it anyway, okay? They're gonna have guns anyway. We can't stop them! Kids are gonna have sex anyway; we can't stop 'em. So we need to make it safe. Kids are gonna get hold of guns. You can't stop it, so we'd better make it safe. We know kids are gonna get guns anyway. Why not teach them to use guns safely?"
"Oh, no! We can't do that. We're not gonna teach guns. Guns kill people!"
"So does abortion."
Ah, but I'm not supposed to go there. By the way, if you're just joining us and you missed the first hour, it's impossible to repeat the whole thing, but there was earth-shattering news in the first hour. It's that tetracycline... Well, the earth-shattering news is related to the fact that scientifically studied men melt in the presence of women they consider beautiful. When men are around a woman they think is beautiful, they just lose all reason, they lose all rationality, and they do things they otherwise wouldn't do.
They say things they otherwise wouldn't say. It is posited in this piece that men make their gravest life mistakes in the presence of a beautiful woman; that they do things that any other time in the day or their life they would never do. So the story said there's help for this, and it mentioned an antibiotic, tetracycline, which is an acne pimple zit medicine. If you take tetracycline, it supposedly ratchets up your rationality and combats the effect on men of a beautiful woman.
Now, when I heard that, I said, "Do you realize the angst that we could have spared our culture? If we would have just known this back in the late sixties and started prescribing tetracycline for men, we would never have needed feminism. There wouldn't have been a problem. Beautiful women would not have had an advantage over others and therefore we would not have needed feminism." It's Undeniable Truth of Life number 24, and it is made obviously true by this discovery of tetracycline.
My Undeniable Truth of Life number 24: "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society." You can get mad at me, you can feel threatened, you can start throwing your underwear and bra at the radio. I don't care. It's practically undeniable. So here we are. We have 15-year-old girls now legally able to walk into a pharmacy or the corner pharmacy in a department store anywhere and tell the pharmacist that she wants -- or he wants -- a morning-after pill.
Can a guy pick some up for his girlfriend?
I don't know.
But a girl can. Without her parents' knowledge or permission and without a prescription. This is obviously going to become Birth Control 101. This may eliminate the need for the pill. Why mess with that and whatever side effects it has? Just go to town out there, have sex all you want, really irritate the conservatives. Then head to the pharmacy and pick up the morning-after pill the next day. In fact, pick up a stash of 'em. This was discussed this morning on the Fox News Channel.
Martha MacCallum had on one of their doctors there, Manny Alvarez, along with a Democrat activist. To show you that this is political -- which is the point I've been making intensely the last two weeks, but the history of this program been an attempt to illustrate to everybody that everything the Democrat Party does is political, everything it does. So here you have supposedly something that's a medical decision.
A 15-year-old girl is able to walk into a pharmacy, ask for the morning-after pill without a prescription, and get it. So the Democrats send somebody -- a feminist, political activist -- to talk about this with Dr. Alvarez. Dr. Alvarez was hot. He was over the top. We have three sound bites on this, and we're starting with this one. Question from Martha MacCallum: "If you're 15 years old, you can walk into any retail outlet that has a pharmacy and you can do something that's going to dramatically change what's going on in your body."
Dr. Manny Alvarez EXPLODES on FOX NEWS because WOMAN of 15 having the choice to use PLAN B
I saw most of the segment. I immediately muted (as I always do anyway) the broad Jemu Green when she referred to the 15 year old teenagers as women. What a dope
I am just now listening to Rush....
A reminder to FReepers who may be time impaired, you can
use DAR.fm to record ANY radio program for playback when you like.
Your computer does not have to be online at the time of the program.
I keep pumping DAR, as it is so good.
You can do one program for free, but I subscribed and now do 3 programs...Savage, Rush, and Kook to Kook.
They would never allow this to happen to 15 year old boys ... let them take a strong hormonal drug that has who-knows-what side effects and long term effects without parental consent.
This is the real ‘war on women’ (war on girls now).
saw it and as soon as I heard the liberal woman spout how they are 15 year old women I started shouting at the TV.
15 year odl women, HUH they’re girls who if having sex broke the law,age sex law, 16\
smoking 16
Nyquil , show ID and ask for it behind counter
adult is 18
drink is 21
but a little girl can go and get a tablet to kill maybe a baby because she broke the law and had sex and the parents might not know about this and the left and Dems and oama are fine with it.
madness and insane
You said it
Anecdotal, but I disagree with Rush’s premise that unattractive women cannot access the mainstream of society. Is it easier for attractive women? Sure. But I’m an “unattractive” woman - I mean ugly - but I have had a happy marriage for three decades, children and grandchildren, an education and a professional career. The problem isn’t being ugly on the outside, it’s being ugly through and through. And you know what they say about “beautiful” women - no matter how gorgeous she is, some guy, somewhere, is sick of her crap. Rush would know...

"Oh, no! We can't do that. We're not gonna teach guns. Guns kill people!"
"So does abortion."
Ah, but I'm not supposed to go there.
Ah but Rush is on a tear today...
And you know what they say about “beautiful” women - no matter how gorgeous she is, some guy, somewhere, is sick of her crap.
And so are the Freepers!
How? Because it vastly decreases the resistance of girls, and increases the insistance of boys/men, toward sexual intercourse with the minor girls. ("Don´t worry. There´s a fix you can get afterwards.") Some pregnancies are prevented; a whole lot more are initiated, simply because of this strong cultural-undertow: the overall surge of opportunistic boys & men having sex with young girls.
I´m not just predicting this. I´m reporting it. The statistics-crunchers at Alan Guttmacher Institute, the Marie Stopes Foundation and CDC have known this for years about the availability of OTC hormonal doses for minors. The behavioral impact negates, or even overwhelms, the pharmaceutical impact.
Lorianne, do you know of any studies done on the effect of the morning after pill? Thanks in advance if you do.
Exactly.
This whole thing is about making younger and younger girls sexually available to men.
