“What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke, 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. What does that make us? We’re the pimps.”
Rush Limbaugh,on the young woman initially denied the right to testify against the all-male Congressional committee on insurer-paid birth control and other medical services, a day after he said that women seeking health-care equality with men owe those men a video of their sexual activities.
Rush Limbaugh should be a focus of rage, pity, and, ultimately, evangelization on the part of the Religious Right that’s propelled him to success. That he won’t be, and that we’re still, in 2012, arguing about denying women insured access to contraceptives and other “they can have it if the boss says it’s moral enough” healthcare decisions, is beyond tragic.
The whoring from the Right continues, unabated and unabashed.
