Hey Kaslin!!

Anyway: I wrote Rush like this:
Good he apologized... didn’t sound right....
BUT
Where have women come to where this law student can’t even get a guy to pony up for the price of her contraception?!
She (women in general) take all the risks, and even if you’re OK with abortion, it still is a dangerous, invasive procedure.... that only the woman is in a position to have done...
She probably splits dinner 50/50, pays for all the prophylactic devices.... Soon she’ll be paying for the fellow’s services too!

I think that Rush should have told the girl to ask a prostitute for ADVICE in SELF RESPECT!

If a woman can put her proclivities for her bedroom out and gives us a number that she demands we support, why is it we can’t take that number as an insult, while quantifying what that number represents?

This a business for her and society has a name for that business which really shouldn’t be any of mine.

[ Without it, the fight against media misogyny will continue to be perceived as a proxy war for the Democratic Party ]

Because with few exceptions, Kirsten, that’s what it is. When will you admit that to yourself and see the left for what it really is? Atleast Rush focused his comments at woman who insists on going in front of Congress to discuss her sex life and demand the power of Gov’t be used to force others to provide contraceptions to her for free. All so she can be free of responsibilty and consequence, and even if others have violate their conscience and abandon their religious beliefs.

He just might. That could be his game plan here: To apologize then call out off those liberals to do the same, playing their comments one by one and calling them out as he does. He could then call out their advertisers and demand they cancel until the offending liberal apologizes.

This is an unmarried woman who apparently, based on her own testimony before Congress, needs $1000 a year in birth control. Since the Pill is $9 a month at Target and Wal-Mart, there was an inference made that she was buying a *lot* of condoms. And demanding we pay for them.

You insert yourself in the culture wars as she has done, in an attempt to use the power and force of Government to make people take actions contrary to their religious convictions, and you take what you get.

Fluke claims that she spent $1,000 per year on condoms, $3,000 over a period of three years.

Let’s do the math.

At CVS there are 55 different condom products and I’ve selected the following one since she claims that she’s a girl that just wants to have fun.

Durex Pack of Condoms. Includes Case, 3 Vibrating Rings and 48 Condoms (Assorted Flavors and Colors). Protects Against Pregnancy, HIV-AIDS and STDs when used as directed. Electronically tested for reliability. Made of Latex.

So for $1,000 per year she would get 50 of these packs, which would mean that she could have protected sex 2,400 times per year, which computes to 52 times per week, every week, with no time off, and means that she’s having sex 7.5 times a day.

When does she have time to go to class, agitate her causes, testify in front of a mock committee headed by Pelosi,take sympathy calls from Barry?

If indeed she is able to be this sexually active I shudder to see what her visits to her gynecologist cost.I assume that Georgetown covers those.

I thought she said she spent that much on birth control. Pills are far more expensive than condoms.

The required insurance policy at Georgetown runs $157 a month, and only allows for ‘free’ access to the on site clinic. It carries a $200 incidental deductible, and insurance ‘copays’ are $30 per prescription for the class that would include birth control pills (if they were covered.)

Target, down the street from the college, offers pills for $9, the prescription can be obtained at the college clinic.

For term health insurance for this group, the insurance rates are a massive ripoff. Rather than dancing around Washington, these students should be attending the economics class and then start questioning why the college is profiting off of a required medical plan ($5 per month additional for administration).

Even more, why these plans are being charged directly to the student account (where they are most likely to be included in a student loan package) so that not only are they getting ripped off, they’re getting ripped off for decades at interest.

The whole thing is a setup from start to finish. The ObamaCare like forced plan at the college, the non-inclusion of benefits, the rip offs - no one seems to question a mandatory insurance plan, even if the student is insured otherwise, that mostly includes the on site clinic which used to be free for students anyway.

Birth control pills are on the four-dollar list at Walmart.

Limbaugh has been making his program about Limbaugh at a time when we're facing one of the most port elections in American history.

It is time he stopped blowing his own horn and got back to doing what he does best.

calling a Georgetown Law student a slut for testifying about contraception

No, he said she was a slut because what she claimed as her expenses for contraception would buy enough condoms to have sex 5 times a day.

I believe the Limbaugh research staff is working some mandatory OT this week end and the leader has gotten some legal advise as to how to proceed.
I also believe Monday is going to be jam packed with every despicable nasty filthy thing said about any Repub/Conservative by politicians and media/comedians etc.
The “student activist" may even be exposed for what she is, an Obama type agitator.
Monday will be a day to be tuned in

I think I read that Carbonite was cancelling eventhough he apologized, as opposed to “until”, so the liberals should be cancelled even if they apologize if the same standard is used.

It has been well established that birth control pills can be purchased for as little as $5. a month. They are available for $9 at most big box stores (No pun intended!)

As for ‘birth control’ oral contraception is anything but. It is a carcinogen (Class 1). It is a massive dose of chemicals masquerading as natural hormones that ‘trick’ the body into thinking it is ‘pregnant’. It creates a uterine wall that doesn't accept implantation thereby causing a miscarriage, IE: chemical abortion, of a fertilized egg. It unnaturally regulates the natural menstrual cycle of a woman's’ body, and has been PROVED to increase serious risk factors for: uterine cancer, breast cancer and HEART DISEASE (particularly in women over the age of 35), and believe it or not: UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES. More than half the women who abort their babies do so while practicing one OR MORE forms of birth control! Most are on the oral birth control pill! It's called a failure rate and oral birth controls failure rate is close to 10%. If the failure rate of an airline flight was 10%, would you fly?

Every thing the Left says is a LIE! Everything they accuse others of is pure projection! To even engage in the discussion is to have lost the fight.

The proper answer for all concerned is that NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE BIRTH CONTROL AWAY FROM WOMEN: WE JSUT ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR A VOLUNTARY MEDICAL PROGRAM!
