Rush Limbaugh: Women Who Want Birth Control Are Sluts

[Carajos]

In that logic, all Republicans with male escorts are gay.

Wait they're not?

In all seriousness why do we allow Limbaugh near anything similar to that of a microphone?

WE don't. Clear Channel does because there are enough stupid wingnuts to give him an audience, and enough corporations who want to advertise their shit to the stupid wingnuts.

By making religious institutions offer birth control as part of their health coverage, would'nt that be crossing the separation of church and state?

Also, shouldn't the health care insurance package be the option of the employer?

No one is making religious institutions offer birth control. That was the original plan, but it was altered. Now, religious institutions can refuse to offer such coverage, in which case the health insurance company must offer contraceptive coverage for free. This does not in any way violate Free Exercise.

I find it curious that the Catholic Church objects to paying for contraception, but has no qualms about its members paying taxes which fund capital punishment and funded the war in Iraq, both of which the RCC opposes/d. If paying for something one has religious objections to constitutes a violation of separation of Church and State, they should be raising a fuss about those too.

Let's be frank here. Rush Limbaugh is a self-centered douchebag who is also a hypocrite (mention the Dominican Republic and his Viagra in front of him and he'll probably say he was doing his masculine duties). He's lost about four of his sponsors, and he may lose enough to force him to shut down. Sometimes his rants are laughable because he acts stupid. But calling someone a slut for pointing out their views and the medicinal uses of contraception is ridiculous and lacks the Christian values he SOOOOO admires to preach about.

Basically, the act doesn't force religious institutions to pay for contraception, but rather, it says insurance companies must pay for their clients' contraception medication. This will actually save them money, since it costs them more to give coverage to a pregnant woman (in other words, they don't want pregnant clients).

So Rush was acting out of step, and the ass may get what's coming to him.

You mean he might get tarred and feathered, beaten beyond recognition, and all reference to him permanently erased from human memory and records?

That might be changing...

[New Rogernomics]

We need more sluts, especially male ones, those Republican politicians need serving.

[You-Gi-Owe]

1. You know what saves insurance companies even more money than subsidized chemical birth control? Answer = Condoms and/or absinence

Which would not have controlled the health issue the young lady with the ovarian cyst problems had...which was the point of Sandra Fluke's testimony.

edited for clarity.

Gotta call "B.S." Her primary testimony was about "contraception". She didn't go to testify on ovarian cyst medication that also just happens to work as a contraceptive.

Her goal was to attempt a change in policy, so she's whoring herself to the Democratic Party, who is aiding because their goals coincide with hers. Both sexually and politically, she's a total slut. I loved how B.O. telephoned her and said her parents ought to be proud of her. Has anyone called them and asked. I'll look for that story.

So a couple advertisers dropped him. There are plenty more that will be happy to quietly take their place in a week or so after this blows over. I bet Rush goes on a rant tomorrow about how teh ebil libruls are violating his first amendment rights. Because as we all know, the 1st protects conservatives' right to say whatever they want without anyone disagreeing or contradicting them, and liberals' right to protest for exactly 4.28 seconds before being pepper sprayed.

Actually, her goal was to defend the president's policy it is the Catholic Bishops whoring themselves to the Republican Party that are trying to change policy. Additionally, I would love to see your sources on how she is a sexual slut.

You know Limbaugh fucked up when Rick Santorum called BS on it.

If Rush called her a slut, she must be a slut. After all, who else can testify to what a slut is like a john who sampled sluts like wine all across the globe?

I believe the Catholic Church policy on contraception has been around longer than the Obama policy on contraception. Therefore, the attack, or notion that someone should change policy, is coming from the government.

Hey, Rush spelled it out. She believes that someone, other than herself, needs to pay for her to have sex without the risk of pregnancy. Sounds slutty to me.

Don't we have enough entitlement programs? What happened to Feminism wanting the government to keep it's hands off womens' bodies? In this case, they want the government to pay women to get something into their bodies.

The fact that you go above and beyond the habit of Dittoheads (and incidentally, prostitutes) in swallowing Rush's bologna while pretending hormonal contraceptives aren't effective treatments for numerous female reproductive conditions and diseases is rather telling.

I believe her point was that contraception should be covered under her student insurance at Georgetown. I can't imagine she doesn't pay at least in part for that policy. So, no, dear, she's not a self-confessed slut. As for entitlement programs and the government keeping its hands off women's bodies, none of that has anything to do with the question at hand. Since you mention it, however, the only government actions I've seen lately are attempts by several states to require women to have invasive sonograms when attempting to control their own bodies.

To bad Catholic Church policy is not law and that is what is being addressed, the Catholic Church can continue to preach against Birth Control as long as it wants but that doesn't carry any legal weight.

No she wants student/employee insurance to cover women's medical care, if you actually read her statements you see she did mention her own sex life but instead the Medical need many women need that is provided by Birth Control.

Finally, I see that you don't know what you are talking about as government is not paying for anything in this regards. Nor, does the government mandate that women partake in Birth Control.

Seriously, try thinking for yourself sometime and realize your beloved Right icons make mistakes.

Because freedom of expression protects even the most asinine of expressions. As much as I'd like Rush to go away forever, the only right way for it to happen is if people stop listening to him.

What I don't get is... why not use the alternatives? They can use Condoms instead, if they can't afford condoms, well I guess they can either use their hands, or not have sex at all?
