Limbaugh defined the term as "a feminist to whom the most important thing in life is ensuring that as many abortions as possible occur," adding that, "There are fewer than twenty-five known Feminazis in the United States."{{quote-book , year = 1992 , chapter = The Limbaugh Lexicon , title = The Way Things Ought to Be , author = Rush H.
