Rush Limbaugh: Women Who Want Birth Control Are Sluts

It's all fun and games until sponsors he's had since he was a local host on a Sacramento station pull their support...

Sure it does. Al Gore is fat, right? So's Michael Moore. Everyone with a brain knows they're wrong.

You're only saying that because you're fat. And, since you're fat, your opinion is wrong.

In an about-face, the conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Saturday that he was sorry for denouncing as a “prostitute” a Georgetown University law student who had spoken publicly in favor of the Obama administration’s birth control policy.

On Saturday, a day after President Obama telephoned the student, Sandra Fluke, to say he stood by her in the face of personal attacks on right-wing radio, Mr. Limbaugh published the apology on his Web site.

“For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke,” Mr. Limbaugh wrote. He then reiterated his opposition to the Obama administration policy, which requires health insurance plans to cover contraceptives for women.

On the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday editions of his talk show, Mr. Limbaugh attacked Ms. Fluke as sexually promiscuous and politically motivated — “an anti-Catholic plant,” he said at one point.

On Wednesday, he called her a “slut” who “wants to be paid to have sex”; on Thursday, he said she was “having so much sex, it’s amazing she can still walk”; and on Friday, after Senate Democrats beat back a Republican challenge to the new policy, he said Ms. Fluke had testified that she was “having sex so frequently that she can’t afford all the birth-control pills that she needs.”

He's self-evidently wrong. Insulting everything about him is just to rub it in. He's an abomination on every possible level.

It also drags down the discourse. There is a legitimate critique of him and the way he conducts himself. Lowering ourselves to petty playground taunts about stupid shit like weight allows the focus to be shifted and trivializes what is otherwise a relatively serious criticism.

Plus, it's fucking tedious. Yes, we get it. He's fat. This is not a humorous or insightful slight.

Seriously though?!? Three thousand dollars through law school?! That makes for one thousand a year which is well above the Planned Parenthood's estimation of $160 to $600. source http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/alp ... h-control-

So what is her excuse for demanding that anything above the estimated average be covered in her case and what exactly is her case? I understand that in her friend's particular case it is justified that she get contraception but why did she not state her particular case? I would venture to say it is due to the fact that she would be rejected by her University of Georgetown because she is having sex above the expected average and is thus not covered under her particular insurance which stated the parameters of said coverage and thus it is her fault that she is not covered, not mine or the University's but hers. Therefore she should just, as Limbaugh stated, have less sex or risk pregnancy or possibly switch to a non-Catholic institution seeing as no one is forcing her to attend that obviously idiotic and backwards university that produces backwards and indoctrinated graduates.

Sluts in dead! The more children, the more future military soldiers the government owns! In our society, a one year military training program is required before the age of 16. Also, children are taken from their parents soon after birth and trained right from wrong. They are considered government property until they learn to walk and are no longer a threat to us. Technically all people are government property but new borns are our responsibility and are terminated if they cannot be trained to know what is right.

The Pill costs the same no matter if you have sex one time per year, or three times a night.

What?

She in her testimony didn't argue about herself, but three other cases in which coverage is needed.

Moreover, you don't need more pills if you have more sex. Instead, you take the same amount of pills if you have sex once a year as you do if you have daily gang bangs.

Or if you're not having sex at all.

If you're on the pill and you miss a day, you have to take the pill you missed A.S.A.P. If you miss two pills in a row, you need to take those two pills, resume daily contraception, and then refrain from sex for the entire next week.

IOW, the number of pills a woman must take to avoid pregnancy is entirely independent of the frequency with which a woman has sex.

Journalistic? I'd be more surprised if O'Reilly indicated he had integrity of any sort.

It's not really an apology. It's code talk for "I promise I won't call her a slut whore anymore, please just don't pull your sponsorship from my show."

@Gauthier: Yeah, that's undoubtedly what it is. Someone said to Rush, "You put your foot in it, the liberals are on the warpath, just say you're sorry for your choice of words." And that is basically what he said, too.

Well, I mean, honestly though, what's he going to say? People aren't upset at him for being against the proposal, that's a given. Of course he's against it. That's not the offensive part. The offensive part was calling her a slut and a prostitute.

The part where he doesn't seem to understand how hormonal birth control works or obfiscates the issue to make people think it's about 'their money' etc, that's just run of the mill Rush bullshit to which we can point and laugh and correct.

But the part that crossed the line was calling her a slut and a whore and suggesting that she put up sex videos for everyone to see because we're paying for her birth control...

Of course, we're not paying for shit, she is paying for her own healthcare coverage. But that part isn't offensive as much as it's just stupid.

No, that makes for 750 per year.... Georgetown has both 6 semester and 8 semester JD programs. Depending on the prescription some Birth Control pills (like Alesse for example average price is ~ $130.00/month $1560.00/year) cost more that those averages.

And you don't seem to have a fucking clue how birth control pills work.... How much sex one has does not have an impact on pill consumption.
