Is pregnant now a dirty word?

Rush read us a story today about what is happening at the White House.. if a pregnant woman wants to visit the White House, they have to claim their unborn child as a visitor? How stupid is that? Why not just have a block that says Pregnant? that they can answer yes or no?

I can't conceive of any reason why they would need to know this, let alone want to know it.

RUSH: Washington Free Beacon. And I'm not making up a word of this as I read this to you. "Pro-Choice White House Requires Registration of Unborn Children for Tours." If you're pregnant and you show up, you must register your fetus as a person touring the White House, is the point of this. "The White House Visitors Office requires that an unborn child -- still residing in utero -- must be counted as a full human being when its parents register for a White House tour, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. White House Visitors Office director Ellie Schafer sent an email to a Capitol Hill staffer Tuesday morning explaining the process for registering an unborn fetus for a White House tour." (interruption) No, I don't know. Why would you have to do this?

Remember, to the White House -- to liberal Democrats -- a fetus doesn't exist until it's born. It can't. They have major political issues with that. If a fetus is alive and an independent living thing that you can count before it's born, then they have a big political problem. A fetus is "an unviable tissue mass." Now, all of a sudden, if you're pregnant and your baby is in utero and you want a White House tour, you've gotta register that baby as a human being -- as a person also -- on the tour. For the life of me, I can't figure out why unless tour requests are down and they're trying to pad the numbers.

But who would care?

Anyway, here's the White House Visitors Office Director Ellie Schafer and her e-mail. "We have received a number of calls regarding how to enter security information for a baby that has not yet been born. ... You MUST include the baby in the overall count of guests in the tour. It’s an easy process."

LAST NAME: The family’s last name.
FIRST NAME: "Baby" as a first name.

These are the instructions I'm reading to you.

MIDDLE NAME: NMN as in No Middle Name.
DOB: Use the date you are submitting the request to us as their birthday.

Meaning, you're five months pregnant, you want a White House tour. You have to count that person in the womb as a person on the tour. You have to list their age as the date of birth. The date of birth is the date you are submitting the request, even though the baby won't be born for four months, the date of birth is the date you submit the request.

GENDER: If the parents know, put that gender down. If not, you can enter either M or F as we’ll ask you to update it at the time of birth.
SOCIAL: As they will not have a SSN and are under 18, you will not need to enter this field.
CITIZEN/CITY/STATE: The citizen, city and state should be entered the same as the parents.

And then the actual e-mail is attached in this story, lest you think that the Washington Free Beacon is making this up. So the only time in the world a radical NOW gang type feminist will acknowledge that a fetus is a human being is, for some reason, when it is taken along on a White House tour. Shouldn't there be a question on here asking if you intend to abort the baby or not? And then shouldn't there be, if you answer one way or the other, shouldn't there then be another question, "Why not?" (laughing) See, I amuse myself. Seriously. "Do you plan on aborting this baby?" And if the answer is no, then the next question is, "Why not? Don't you know you're carrying around an illness?" So, anyway, that's actually happening, uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon.
