Rush Limbaugh: Women Who Want Birth Control Are Sluts

[Dark Fire Ice]

But they are still saying they want to cover what they want in healthcare, and Roman Catholics are not very high on the sanity bar.

Just pointing out the basis of their stance. I'm not defending it by any means.

I understand. I tend to get a little upset when faith try and dictate politic, when the western world spent nearly a millennium in a such a state, and look at want life was like then.

[Cannot think of a name]

And Carbonite makes six.

And Carbonite makes six.

Damn, I was hoping Dick Cheney had frozen him in carbonite.

Rush is just unhappy he won't get to eat the unwanted firstborn child.

[Big Jim P]

Rush is just unhappy he won't get to eat the unwanted firstborn child.

No, Rush is unhappy that he can't get it up without help. Of course, If I had to see that face in the mirror every morning, I'd probably suffer from ED too.

[Socialdemokraterne]

To be clear. Americans are far too stupid to have a national healthcare system. Mostly because of the nominally intelligent americans.

And we intelligent Americans who desire a national health system and have a plan for its implementation are what, non-existent? I'm a figment of my own imagination? Remember, two-party state.

[Underdark illithids]

This is the final straw.

In the past he and his useless ilk have made ludicrous verbal attacks against others.... ....but always the others are also to some degree involved in politics and thus not inocent themselves. This time, he has gone too far. This time he has gone after someone who is an ordinary citizen. THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!

We need to stop him once and for all.

Anyone got plans?

We could send him to Ry'leh.

[Death Metal]

The only thing that can be done is to try to get his dittoheads to stop tuning in.

[New Conglomerate]

The only thing that can be done is to try to get his dittoheads to stop tuning in.

Or to force his sponsors to back off.

I believe they're at 7 now.

As someone who RPs on nationstates as the Illithids from D&D, brain-eating Cthulhuish monsters, I can say that wouldn't work.

He has no brain for us to eat.

[SaintB]

And I honestly didn't think anyone actually took him seriously.

Yes, yes, no one listens to Rush, right? He's just an entertainer, just saying things to get a laugh and ratings. Uh huh. If you believe that, I have the exclusive deed to this bridge in New York City, I can let you have it for very little money.

If you don't want the bridge you can sell the deed and I'll give you a good price on some prime real estate in Nevada that is right on the coast.

I'm sure every viewpoint has been covered here but...

...What?

When was birth control expensive? I mean condoms are but there are plenty of other choices. The implant costs nothing and neither does the pill..

Or is that just because of the NHS.... I'm afraid I don't know much about other countries healthcare systems

So... if a woman wants to be sexually active then why can't she get the implant...? Surely that's not going to break the bank and it lasts for 3 years.

Oh and don't even get me started on what Rush said.... to even come the such a conclusion baffles me. I just don't even... Catholics, why are they so weird... why do people think more and more babies is a good thing...

oh dear. I just don't even know

The pill is not just prescribed for contraceptive purposes. There is an entire range of health and hormonal conditions that the pill is used to treat.

Jadey Jadey Jadey, do not interject reality into a debate about how all women on birth control are sluts; its unseemly and might make Mr. Limblob have to take more pills.

[Katganistan]

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 ...

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

Rachel Maddow did a show on this -- how Rush is too stupid to understand how birth control works.

So for those who are unaware:

IT'S NOT LIKE A CONDOM WHERE YOU NEED A NEW ONE FOR EVERY INSTANCE OF SEX YOU HAVE.

IT"S NOT LIKE SPERMICIDAL JELLY WHERE YOU NEED TO REAPPLY FOR EVERY INSTANCE OF SEX YOU HAVE.

YOU TAKE ONE A DAY FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN YOU TAKE PLACEBO PILLS FOR A WEEK SO YOU GET YOUR PERIOD, AND THEN YOU START TAKING THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL AGAIN.

IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN SOMEONE TAKING A PRESCRIPTION DRUG THEIR DOCTOR HAS PRESCRIBED DAILY, SUCH AS BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION, HEART MEDICATION, OR INSULIN.

I apologize for shouting. Apparently, though, it works for Rush so I figured I'd go with a form of communication his followers are used to. Maybe I should go back and edit in some gratuitous and vile insults....

[Revolutopia]

Wait, you mean I don't have to take a Heart Medication pill for every beat of my heart? Well, golly are my medical expenses going to drop now.

Nope, your not Rush Limbaugh either though, I think he needs a pill for every instance his cold dead heart deigns to make an attempt at beating.

If he eased up on the oxycontin his ticker might not be so drowsy.

What's the point of taking placebo pills for a week if you know they're placebos?

To stay in the habit of taking a daily pill.

Surprisingly, the placebo effect can still to an extent even if you know it's a placebo.

Partly to remain in the habit of taking a daily pill, and partly for another reason which TBH my doctor explained to me and I can't remember.

Good. Now go make me a sandwich!

I'm tempted to indulge in mild name-calling in order to replicate the admittedly crass humor acceptable in certain company. Alas, I should be twice as culpable of vulgarity were I to do so. On one count, I would insult you, despite the playfulness of said slight. Secondly, such language would demean myself and violate my principles. Thus, I leave you with this concise statement meant to be received in a jocular tone.
