"Sandra Fluke 'Definitely' Can Sue Rush Limbaugh" - Reuters

[Anonymous]

Rush should have accused her for what she realy is.. A FAKE. She is not some random grad stUdent going broke because of her birth control costs. She is a "reproductive activist" with an agenda. They should at least have been honest wIth her motives at her "hearing" with only dems in attendance.

I think it's pretty obvious that he had no regard for whether she is actually a slut, and knows damn well she is very unlikely to be an actual prostitute.

On the other hand, I think Maher's reference to Palin as a "cunt" is clearly a pure epithet, with no substantive content. It expresses his opinion of her and no more. I doubt anyone would consider that actionable against so obviously public a figure as Palin. It's obnoxious and deserves to be disavowed by the left as well as the right, but that's a separate issue.

Correct. We're not talking about Bill Maher, anyway. We're talking about Rush Limbaugh and his actionable libel.

Oh, thanks for sharing. As if DCUM posters never bring in other events, topics, or people in their attempts to prove a point. . .

Rush Limbaugh is obviously an idiot, and all that he has succeeded in doing is drawing attention to Sandra Fluke. I don't think she made a cogent case as to why a religious educational institution that costs a ton of money to attend should have to provide birth control in a major city with several planned parenthoods. But by being a pig and calling her a slut, Limbaugh has effectively taken the focus away from that.

She was completely honest with her testimony. If you had bothered to read it instead of judging her on media snippets, you'd know that.

Do you even understand how public testimony before Congress works?

Of course, we all understand how it works. Duh, how could we be on DCUM and not know how public testimony works. Silly goose.

Dear Moron,

Did you not read, or even listen to, her statement???

Her opening remarks are as follows:

Leader Pelosi, Members of Congress, good morning, and thank you for calling this hearing on women’s health and allowing me to testify on behalf of the women who will benefit from the Affordable Care Act contraceptive coverage regulation. My name is Sandra Fluke, and I’m a third year student at Georgetown Law, a Jesuit school. I’m also a past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice or LSRJ. I’d like to acknowledge my fellow LSRJ members and allies and all of the student activists with us and thank them for being here today.
Georgetown LSRJ is here today ...

So she is not a fake. She said exactly what she is and who she represents.

As for what the need is, what Georgetown covers, etc. she said this:

A friend of mine, for example, has polycystic ovarian syndrome and has to take prescription birth control to stop cysts from growing on her ovaries. Her prescription is technically covered by Georgetown insurance because it’s not intended to prevent pregnancy. ...In sixty-five percent of cases, our female students were interrogated by insurance representatives and university medical staff about why they needed these prescriptions and whether they were lying about their symptoms. For my friend, and 20% of women in her situation, she never got the insurance company to cover her prescription, despite verification of her illness from her doctor. Her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to prevent pregnancy. She’s gay, so clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy. After months of paying over $100 out of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore and had to stop taking it.

So no, she in no way represented herself as a random grad student who could not afford her pills. And YOU WOULD KNOW THAT if you actually read her statement.

There are a number of medical reasons. Are you really this dumb, or just pretending to be? Look it up.

Just like abortion you tards always give the situation where it is not the majority of usage. Oh but she might have lost her left ovary in Vietnam and it pain because she needs estrogen to right her vagina. BULL SHIT.

Most people are on birth control for sex. The minuscule amount for medical reason could be covered by exemption.

^^^ and you know this because..... you're an obstetrician? Do you have any idea how commonly birth control is necessary for non-contraceptive uses? Any idea at all of what the conditions are and their effect on the lives of the women who have them? Do you have daughters? I hope not.

[Anonymous]

folks get caught up in the name "birth control" and dont realize that its a hormone medication but who needs details when you have mouth breathers who only listen to whatever rush and other conservatives say without even spending a minute looking the info up themselves.

i dont care if you like limbaugh, hannity and company just stop with repeating every single word you hear out their mouth and be original with your own thoughts

[Anonymous]

the battery acid in her cooch precludes any need for bc.

so all of you who have knowledge of the smell and look of Fluke's vagina arent interested in discussing the substance of her testimony?

Im amazed at conservatives ability to access vagina records cause i google and googled and couldnt find anything. drudge doesnt even have a link to something.

so fluke testified before congress because her vagina is leaking substance and in turn needs insurance to cover that correct? maybe that part of her testimony wasnt included for the record. those sneaky closed door testimony kill me. thankfully conservatives haare able to inform me of this. thanks guys

We liberals on here have to remember that one panty sniffer writing dozens of messages does not amount to an "all of you".

Said person must be her OBGYN
