Limbaugh’s sexism isn’t funny

Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute and he thinks it’s funny? It’s nothing but downright viciousness toward women who need protection from pregnancy, not to mention the other uses for the birth control pill! This world would not be the same without it.

Sandra would not be able to finish law school and make something of herself if she had children before she could graduate. Women should be able to enjoy intimacy with their partners without having to worry about an unplanned pregnancy.

If men could get pregnant, we would not be having this controversy. Men would be lining up at doctor offices for contraception like some do for Viagra.

Rick Santorum dismissed Limbaugh as an entertainer. People take Limbaugh’s words as the gospel truth.

It’s about time that all companies pulled their ads from his show. His show has always been nothing but hate and lies, and Limbaugh is a multimillionaire because of it.
