TheL, you're awesome  :) :)

And if I recall, one of the reasons why Miss Fluke was petitioning Georgetown Law School to cover birth control was for a friend of hers who needed it to prevent the growth of ovarian cysts. The school didn't cover it and her friend ended up losing at least an ovary :(. Just another story that the birth control medication has far more applications than exclusively inhibiting pregnancy.

I sent an email to Mr. Limbaugh.

Dear Sir:

Your use of the word "slut" in a recent broadcast confuses me.  I was brought up to believe that the word refers to a woman who has indiscriminate sex, but after hearing your comments regarding certain medications, I am beginning to suspect that the definition of the word has changed.


There is a story connected with this; it is a bit personal, but deeply relevant.  When I began my early 20's, my monthly period went from being a minor inconvenience to a major problem.  Most women have unpleasant (but mild) abdominal cramps; I was doubled over in pain.  Most women feel a little tired or bloated; I was too dizzy to stand for more than 15 minutes at a time and had to spend most of the day lying down.  This happened every month, and is referred to as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

As a single woman living alone, I can't afford to leave such a problem untreated.  My symptoms were so bad that, for one day a month, I was essentially bedridden.  No employer would ever allow me to take a sick day every single month for this--I would lose my job, and in this economy, I would be extremely unlikely to get a new one.

There is exactly one form of medication that is successful at treating PMDD and allowing people like me to live a normal life:  birth control pills.

And PMDD isn't exactly rare.  Many American women, right now, are taking birth control pills to control its symptoms, and many of them are not sexually active.  Some women are lucky; the $10/month generic pill works for them.  However, for some women, the only effective treatments are $100/month.  Many women cannot afford that expense.  (It's not about cutting out non-essentials, either: we're talking about women who pay nothing but bills, and have to choose between rent, electricity, food, and medical treatment.  That's not a choice anyone should have to make.)


I have taken birth control pills to treat my PMDD for almost two years now.  During those two years, how many times have I had sex?  ZERO.  Zero times is about as non-promiscuous as you can get.  But I want to keep my job, and to be a productive member of my workplace, so apparently "successful" and "independent" and "off welfare" is the new "slut."  The word can't possibly have anything to do with sex, because I don't have sex at all.

I could hug you right now.

He lives in Palm Beach. I could always pay the fucker a visit.

And no, there would be no sex or violence involved. *shudders at the very thought*  I'd just give him a piece of my mind.

I'd give him a knife to the skull. But I neither live near him nor want his blood on any of my beloved knives.

Rush defends his earlier statements, multiple times. And then continues to repeatedly insult her some more for good measure.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS GUY IS A DEGENERATE LOWLIFE

Right wing media outlets come out in support of his comments.

Meanwhile, President Obama calls Sandra Fluke to thank her for speaking out on behalf of women.

Something I did not realize until now. The woman that Rush attacked was the same woman that was denied a chance to speak at that Darrel Issa's all-male committee a couple weeks ago.

Yeah when Rush found out Obama called her, he imeediatly told her parents to disconnect the phone, go into hiding, and feel shame for their daughter.

at one point asking Fluke: "Who bought your condoms in sixth grade?"

I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean. She was a slut when she was 11? An age where most sexual contact would take the form of molestation?

welfare disguised as women's health. Or women's reproductive rights."

It is about women's reproductive rights, jackass. No one should be allowed to force their religious agenda on another human being, and it's no mystery why we don't see anywhere near as much controversy regarding things like Viagra.

Quote
try to cast Republicans in an election year as anti-female."

Rush, darling, the Dems don't need to do anything to make you lot look like misogynists -- you're doing a fine job of that yourselves.

Quote
He went on to say that if his daughter had testified that "she's having so much sex she can't pay for it and wants a new welfare program to pay for it," he'd be "embarrassed" and "disconnect the phone," "go into hiding," and "hope the media didn't find me."

If I had you as a father, I'd already be in hiding.

Quote
"I do not hate women."

Just the uppity bitches who step out of line, right?

Quote
Limbaugh went on to say that Fluke testified that her "sex life is active. She's having sex so frequently that she can't afford all the birth-control pills that she needs. That's what she's saying."

No, it means that she's engaging in some form of sexual contact with another person. How often she does that is none of your damn business.

My girlfriend needs it for her own host of problems that have nothing to do with birth control. I think Rushbo and his ilk need to go on the all-soap diet: clean out those filthy mouths.

You know my reaction to this shit at first was kinda like this:


Now it's more like I seriously want to see this wretched piece of worthless biomass killed in a horrible, painful way. Likewise to many who agree with him. Like I said before, I don't want his horrid blood on my knives though.

I think my dad told me he stopped listening to Rush Limbaugh a while ago. I'm glad of that. He still listens to Sean Hannity, though. I think.
