< Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student, was barred from testifying at the
all-male Republican birth control hearing because she (like all other women)
was deemed "unqualified." Undeterred, Fluke went on to testify at Democrats'
own hearing, and said that for a student at her school -- which offers
health insurance that does not cover contraception -- birth control can cost
an astounding $1,000 a year.

< Fluke was referencing a student who uses birth control for medical
reasons, but Rush Limbaugh nonetheless responded to her testimony with an
attempt to defame and shame her for advocating for women's health:

< What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] 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.

< And then, he said this:

< So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are
going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we
want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all
watch...

< PULL YOUR ADDS FROM THAT UN-AMERICAN MISOGYNISTIC SCUMBAG'S SHOW--
