Not a good day for Rush Limbaugh--poor fella got kicked while he was down.

Not a good day for Rush Limbaugh--poor fella got kicked while he was down.

On today's show, right wing talk radio host Rush Limbaugh encored his hilarious misconceptions of reproductive health, claiming that taking the morning after pill caused an abortion to occur.

A caller then carefully--and using very small words--explained to Limbaugh how the pill works in the real world:

RUSH: Here's John in Chicago. Great to have you, sir, on the EIB Network. Hi.

CALLER: Hi. Thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it.

RUSH: You bet.

CALLER: I'm sort of calling on a third tier subject today. I know it's sort of low on the totem pole of issues today, but way back at the beginning of the somehow you referred to the morning-after pill as an abortion pill. And just in the interests of everybody being high information, I just wanted to point out that just as a condom stops sperm from ever getting to an egg and therefore prevents pregnancy from ever occurring, the morning-after pill, what it actually does, and maybe you don't know this, it slows ovulation, and suspends the release of an egg to ever get to the sperm, and so pregnancy never takes place, it can't possibly cause an abortion, and in fact if an egg is fertilized and implanted in the uterine wall, it has no effect.

RUSH: Okay, so what happens if low-information voter, Dick, and low-information Jane get together on Friday night and they copulate and have coitus, and the sperm of low-information voter Dick connects with the egg of low-information voter Jane at like one a.m., and then at 10 a.m. low-information Jane goes and takes the pill, what happens?

CALLER: Well, so long as there has not been an egg fertilized, there can't be any pregnancy, and the morning-after pill would prevent that from ever happening.

RUSH: But in my example if Jane's egg is free, if there has been a connection of low-information voter sperm and low-information voter egg in my example, if the sperm got there and bammo you got an embryo, she takes the pill, is she still gonna get pregnant?

CALLER: It has no effect. It only is effective if the egg has not yet been fertilized, and therefore it prevents pregnancy from ever occurring and therefore it can't possibly cause an abortion, as you said.

RUSH: Well, in the spirit, what it is permitting is activity which is not productive to young people whatever in any way to occur without consequences, and it results in cultural decay and cultural rot, and that is the ultimate point of this. But you may be scientifically correct that it might not cause an abortion.

1. the mentality of people who would willingly listen to his garbage

2. Kicked Rush?

I hope whoever did that was able to extract his foot from the whale's-worth-of-lard afterwards, although amputation might have been preferable.

3. Sounds like she did an excellent job of

schooling a low-information radio blowhard.

4. Thanks for the post.

That was delicious!

5. I get it!

Conservative men do not want women to have sex -- especially not the recreational kind -- because that results in "cultural decay"... unless, of course, those same conservative men are on the receiving end of that activity... oh, and it was FREE! No problem then, right?

[MrScorpio]

6. So, in his mind... Sex without pregnancy causes cultural decay and cultural rot.

How many times has Rush Limbaugh been married and has never fathered any children again?

[freshwest]

9. Hehehe! Proof Rush is causing cultural decay, from his own mouth! Priceless.

7. Thank God Rush can't & didn't reproduce....

we should send him bacon.

8. Rush actually considered another persons opinion?

Are we sure that is the real Gush? Someone poke him with a stick.

10. No kidding. And there was no fire. nt
