Earth Hour Leads to Higher Taxes and More Abortions

Yesterday was Earth Hour, the annual event where every major city in the world voluntarily turns out electric appliances for an hour. This event is designed to raise awareness towards the global climate change.

How does the defacto spokesperson for Republican Party oppose it: By linking the Earth Hour to two of the Republican Parties pet peeves i.e. higher taxes and abortion.

According to Mr Limbaugh, an hour less worth of electricity consumed will result in less tax revenue for the government. So in order to offset that, the government will raise the tax on electricity.
As for abortion, Mr Limbaugh believes that an hour of darkness will result in hanky-panky between a man and a women leading to unwanted pregnancies and ultimately more abortions.

"Earth hour leads to higher taxes and more abortions". This is what the right wing wants to take to the voters in 2012.
