Life News ^ | 11/26/12 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 11/27/2012 6:39:15 AM PST by Baynative

She became the face for the pro-abortion movement during the 2012 elections and the laughingstock of pro-lifers for her relentless push to force Americans to pay for her birth control. College student Sandra Fluke has been nominated as a potential Person of the Year by Time Magazine.

Who better characterizes the takers than a woman who travels to Europe with her boyfriend and then wants us to pay the $10 per month for her birth control. Excellent representative of the ObamaNation.

Rush Limbaugh is singlehandedly responsible for us knowing who Sandra Fluke is. He made her person of the year by calling her a slut and then walking it back days later.

He needed to 'walk it back."

Fluke told some outrageous stories about five different women but specifically stated she was not going to talk about herself.

She never discussed her sex life, never mentioned her own use of contraceptives, and never mentioned her own cost of contraceptives.

Rush made all of that up - primarily because he began his rant based on a news article (CNS?) he was reading and not only Fluke's actual statement.

However, because Rush said it, people believe Fluke talked about her sex life and use of contraceptives.

Thanks to the 'slut' controversy, conservatives lost the ability to attack Fluke's statements based on their actual merit.

Case in point? One of the women Fluke talked about was raped but never went in for STD tests. Her insurance plan didn't cover contraception so she assumed nothing related to her lady parts was covered. That's just stupid - and all of the additional health insurance in the world isn't going to fix stupid.

Fluke used that as one of her examples on why contraception HAD to be covered by health insurance.

Conservatives would have had much more effective arguments against Fluke if we had been able to concentrate on what Fluke actually said rather than putting out the fire Limbaugh started.

Went back to the transcript.

Limbaugh did not base his comments on Fluke's statement. According to Rush, he was commenting on an article by Craig Bannister at Cybercast News Service.

I used to refer to her as a whore, but was corrected by my wife. She reminded me a whore usually gets paid for sex. Slut really is the proper term in this case.

It wasn’t about Fluke, it was about getting laid for free, so make the Person of the Year the collective American vagina.

For what...being a slut? I’m sure her and her crowd of 10 will enjoy the moment.

If you oppose her selection to Time’s Person of the Year then you’re part of the Republican War on Vaginas, one of the burning issues of the day

A little penicillin ought to take care of that.
