"By the way, where's the happiness in this, because I'll never forget the abortion debate in the late eighties, early nineties. It was a very, very, very tumultuous time, and we heard all kinds of great arguments from the left about how this [pregnancy] is a disease; it's a sickness; this can cause women great, great problems! This is getting rid of a health problem." —Rush Limbaugh, March 14, 2007
"All during the abortion debate, pregnancy was a disease. It was a sickness. It was an 'unviable tissue mass.' It was male oppression..." —Rush Limbaugh, April 1, 2008
"...the pro-choice crowd in trying to justify it, has tried to say that pregnancy is a disease, or that pregnancy is a sickness that can threaten the life of the mother..." —Rush Limbaugh, May 18, 2009
"It almost sounds like a disease, and for some women pregnancy is a disease. I mean, the feminazis, of course." —Rush Limbaugh, January 18, 2011
"The feminazis have said pregnancy is a 'disease,' as they have argued for abortion. It's hopeless. It's just totally hopeless." —Rush Limbaugh, January 20, 2011
"Oh, yeah. Pregnancy is a disease out there, folks. That's been the way the NAGs have spun that story for as long as I can remember." —Rush Limbaugh, January 27, 2011
" 'The National Institute of Health has said that it is a danger to women's health and safety of their families, that for 30 years, to be exposed to the prospects of pregnancy.' It is a disease." —Rush Limbaugh, February 10, 2012
"Pregnancy is a great health risk for women. If you haven't noticed, we had the quotes last week. They say that pregnancy is a greater health risk than abortion... pregnancy can mean being punished with a baby. The president of the United States said that himself." —Rush Limbaugh, February 14, 2012
"I do find it reprehensible that these people continue to portray pregnancy as the great sickness and abortion as the great cure. I haven't heard of anything sicker." —Rush Limbaugh, February 24, 2012
"I guess asthma is not a life-threatening condition, but yet pregnancy is some kind of disease?" —Rush Limbaugh, March 1, 2012
"They're portraying it once again, pregnancy as a disease. Not having babies born is a critical benefit for health care. Fewer babies, less cost. Fewer babies, less expense." —Rush Limbaugh, March 1, 2012
"To the left, pregnancy is a disease. If you're listening to me for the first time, you may say, "Well, that's crazy." It's not. They treat pregnancy as a disease for political purposes. All of this, folks, is political." —Rush Limbaugh, March 5, 2012
"Why would birth control pills be covered under the normal sense of health insurance? There's no relationship whatsoever, unless you succeed in convincing people that pregnancy is an illness, that pregnancy is a disease, and that a birth control pill will prevent disease. It's just another political move designed to get the votes of women. Obamacare is simply the gateway to totalitarianism." —Rush Limbaugh, March 26, 2012
