Limbaugh Calls Student Denied Spot At Contraception Hearing A ‘Slut’
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown student whom House Republicans wouldn’t let testify at a contraception hearing last week, a “slut” and a “prostitute” today, because, Limbaugh argued, she’s having “so much sex” she needs other people to pay for it:
"LIMBAUGH: What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex."
Listen here, via Media Matters:
While it’s probably not even worth engaging with Limbaugh on the facts, Fluke’s testimony was about a friend who is a lesbian and needed birth control for non-sexual medial reasons, so he’s only wrong about three times over, and offensive many more times over than that.

I cannot even comprehend Limbaugh's statement right now.
Signed,
Everyone
PS -
Can't believe that BC is such a huge issue. Crazy.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
THIS FUCKING IDIOT DOUCHEBAG ASSHOLE MOTHER FUCKER
FUCK HIM
These pieces of shit act like they want this better America, when what they really want is an oppressed America, especially as far as females are concerned.
What's next? Female circumcision so we have joyless sex?
If this is the price of freedom of speech you can shove it.
Just become someone is on birth control doesn't mean they are having sex all over the place. I'm on it because I need it to regulate my period other wise I can go as long as 6 months with out having one. People like him need to stfu.
I can't stand the double standard. It's ok for a man to buy condoms and sow his wild oats but GOD FORBID a woman take control over her sexual health so she doesn't have an unwanted pregnancy. If a woman has sex that makes her a slut but it takes two to have sex so what does that make the man? An innocent bystander?
All those Republicans keep raging about social welfare and people needing to be able to fend for themselves. Birth control keeps people from having unwanted pregnancies so they aren't burdening the system any more then it already is. I can't stand the hypocrisy of it all. They're all for the sanctity of life and anti abortion but then they go all "how dare a woman actually take steps to make sure she doesn't have an unwanted pregnancy and an abortion."
