Speaking to DallasNews.com, Merritt Tierce, a former waitress at a high-end steakhouse in Dallas, Texas, recalled using Rush Limbaugh's very generous tips to fund abortions.
Merritt said twice Limbaugh dined at the restaurant and left her a $2,000 tip each time on "modest-sized" checks. She describes one of the tips paid in twenty $100 bills.
"That was blood money to me," Tierce said, and so she donated "a sizable chunk of it" to the Texas Equal Access abortion fund, of which she was executive director. She explained:
It felt like laundering the money in a good way. Hes such an obvious target for any feminist or sane person. It was really bizarre to me that he gave me $2,000, and hes evil incarnate in some ways.
Tierce has released her first novel, entitled Love Me Back, which is all about her experiences at the Dallas steakhouse. The Limbaugh story is not included.
Continuing her abortion activism, Tierce recently penned an Op-Ed for The New York Times in which she describes having two abortions. The goal is clear in her piece: to combat the great "lie that abortion isnt normal." She writes:
I had an abortion because we were poor and I was depressed and I didnt know who the father was. I had been having an affair. My kids were 2 and 3, and the debilitating morning sickness, which I experienced early in each of my pregnancies, made it difficult to work or care for two toddlers. I got pregnant again soon after, but miscarried. A few years later I had another abortion because the man I was seeing was emotionally abusive. I had no control in that relationship, so I sabotaged my birth control to get some back. The whole situation was a complete abscess. In spite of my awareness of our miserable present and inevitably doomed future, I didnt really want to have an abortion. I wanted the man to love me or at least be forced to publicly acknowledge our relationship existed. But he didnt want to have a baby with me, and I knew that having that baby would have been a terrible thing for my children. And for me.
This is how it really is, abortion: You do things you regret or dont understand and then you make other choices because life keeps going forward. Or you do something out of love and then, through biology or accident, it goes inexplicably wrong, and you do what you can to cope. Or you do whatever you do, however you do it, for whatever reason, because thats your experience.
Well, he’s a billionaire many times over, so there is the possibility.
her money now, her choice.
just like we chose to not patronize anywhere she works.
Chrissy Hinds of The Pretenders tried to do the same thing against Rush when he rolled a wheelbarrow full of money up to her to get the permanent rights to “Back to Ohio”, his theme music.
She donated the money to some animal rights cause and then tried to say “Ha-ha, I made Rush donate to animal rights.”
Rush eviscerated her on the air, explaining he was paying an agreed upon price to HER, and whatever choice she made as to the use of the money were her own.
I suspect he will do the same thing with this ghoul’s story as well.
If you’re ever in Des Moines, try the 801 Chophouse. They also have restaurants in Omaha, Leawood, KC and St Louis and soon in Denver.

I believe that Rush pays a (hefty) royalty to PeTA every year for the use of Back to Ohio.
Chrissie Hynde set things up so the money goes directly to PeTA. Her idea of a joke.
After all, she did write the song, and he was free to not choose it as the theme for his show.
I seem to recall the amount was $500K/yr, but someone else may know better.
If they are an african american there is a 95% chance they voted for Obama.
...
She’s just lashing out because others remind her daily that she is a baby killer and it makes her angry because she knows it’s true, you can see it on her face.
She keeps repeating the lie that abortion doesn’t matter, in the vain hope that SHE will believe it the next time she says it!
The “woman” is a ghoul. She deserves a miserable life. That article is full ofthe word “I.”
"Liberals are like Muslims: No matter how nice you are to them they will still hate you if you dont share their beliefs."
I put full text in quotes and yours was the only hit (which is called a google-whack I believe). I then googled just the first part and there are only 3 pages of hits and that suggests to me this is your own quote.
Major props, I believe is the current vernacular, and tagline worthy, FRiend.
Uhmmm...so the meal with wine was $10-$15k?
with a couple or 4-6 buddies, how is that not reasonable.
you have the steak, twice baked potato, potato skin appetizer and a couple other things, you’re easily at $800-$1,000 for food alone.
Toss in a couple bottles of Petrus or drink 1/2 a vertical of Joseph Phelps beginning with 1987 and you’re easily into $10,000 grand.
Hell, start the night trying to be the last guy to drink the ounce of Luis XIV Cognac, which happens a lot and voila!
$10k-$15k and no way 4-6 men drank a couple bottles of anything, so it might be $15,000 total and you are only required to tip fully on the food portion.
if this hag wants some synthetic validation with what sounds like a fake story in the 1st place let her.
she’ll wrinkle up real fine.
I know more beautiful and naturally happy republican/conservative women than there are liberal women, who are funky, chunky, wrinkled and bitter.
bitter at men, bitter at God, bitter at life. In fact, they suck at life.
tbey are all about avoiding something.
Republican gals are all about doing something for its own reward or pleasure.
I am inclined to think the same. If so he should bring it up on his show.
Point out what garbage he got too close to.
I she hags 10 times uglier and 5 times heavier with MULTIPLE babies all the time!
I always think.. who would do THAT!?
That’s what she wants you to think.
Here’s the explanation from Rush himself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZNyJ2R6WBk#t=25
and Wikipedia agrees that SHE, not Rush, donates the proceeds to PETA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZNyJ2R6WBk#t=25
But I did get some stuff wrong. Her name is Chrissy Hynde and the song is titled “Back to Ohio.”
Makes Ruth’s Chris sound like Burger King.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks, GreenAccord. I didn't think it anything particularly profound - just stating the obvious. Unfortunately, it's a bit too long for a tagline.
I’m guessing the tip was for a table, and Limbaugh just one of the diners. She’s attributing the whole thing to Rush for the publicity value.
Probably a good thing that she killed her worthless kid before it clogged the Welfare rolls.
Dangit, the song is called “My City Was Gone”, not “Back to Ohio.”
I’ll stop now.
