The contraception controversy erupted in Washington today over a spate of inflammatory remarks from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
Everyone from House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama to the President of Georgetown University has been drawn into the fray.
The uproar is centered around Sandra Fluke, a third-year Georgetown University law school student who was barred from testifying at a recent Congressional hearing on the Obama administration's policy requiring religiously-affiliated institutions to provide contraception in employee health plans.
Fluke eventually testified before a House Democratic panel, telling a sad story about a female friend who lost an ovary because Georgetown's student insurance would not cover the birth control she needed to treat a medical condition.
Her testimony sparked the ire of Rush Limbaugh, who accused Fluke of being a "slut" and a "prostitute" who is "having so much sex she's going broke."

it’s getting weirder for non-American feminists to be around American feminists:
Most non-American “feminists” might say stuff like:
1. “They beat me regularly cuz the dowry wasn’t enough...they later set me on fire...” or,
2. “I spoke to the American soldiers, so the Taliban cut my nose off...” or,
3. “I’m not permitted to operate any car, not even in an emergency, and no doctor can see my nude body, if I’m sick...”
But the AMERICAN feminist —how is SHE repressed...?
1. Lesbo WITCHES are repressed —cuz people get weirded out by witchcraft.
2. West Point has no witches’ coven, where they can worship
3. Georgetown represses women cuz they don’t buy contraceptives for women
THIS IS LIKE THE TWIGHLIGHT ZONE..!

You know what really cracks me up about this story? It can accurately be said that her names starts with “F” and rhymes with “truck.”

Dittos. That lady from the Christian Science Monitor was stupid. She misstated and mistook Rush's comments. I'm surprised Brett Baier did not correct her. The Special Report is not so special without Charles Kruthammer.

I have PCOS and was prescribed the pill for the condition. I found out ten years later, while trying to conceive, that the pill does not cure the problem it only masks the symptoms. I got rid of PCOS myself by following a low GI diet, avoiding soy, and avoiding hair and body care products containing parabens. I did a few more dietary things as well that includes eating lots of protein and avoiding anything labeled sugar-free, fat-free, low-fat, and low-cal. Essentially, I eat like my grandparents ate. This woman could have done the same thing, but that would take personal responsibility. We see what they think of that concept.

The Special Report is not so special without Charles Kruthammer. Ain't so hot *with* him, either. He really hates conservatives. He worked for Mondale, right?

I've seen a lot of far lefty stuff coming from the Christian Science Monitor. Is their name just a red herring and they're really a progressive rag? Topic: The Christian Science Monitor is neither Christian nor scientific...discuss amongst yourselves.
Fluke's professional background is in domestic violence and human trafficking advocacy.
Fer it or agin it?

You are SO right.

Limbaugh's misogynistic vitriol has made the 30-year-old feminist virtually untouchable, and Democrats couldn't be happier.
The female writer of this article, as expected, lives in her own little world of reality.
Virtually everyone I've spoken with on this subject have been in total agreement that this female is an ignorant twit with an agenda........

Memo. If somehow Sandra Fluke graduates and becomes a lawyer do not hire her. I surely wouldn't, but perhaps Hillary! could find an opening for her... so to speak.

I just sent Charles Lane an email because I was stunned by his comment that this was the worst he had ever heard in public discourse. Yesterday Andrew Breitbart died and Slate journalists cheered.

Damn! I remember a club in Seattle during the early 70’s named the Town Pump. It was upstairs in an old warehouse and you took the freight elevator to get there.” All The Young Dudes” still rings in my ears .
