I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh. But I did hear on the news some of the terrible things he said about this young lady. I won't reprint them, but they are quoted on the petition below. Sandra Fluke, is a law student at Georgetown University. Ms Fluke was denied from testifying about women's birth control at a hearing held by Darrel Issa's committee. The democrats held a hearing and she was able to testify about how the lack of birth control affects her and her fellow students. I have the deepest respect for Ms. Fluke's courage, composure and obvious dedication. Women have the absolute right to birth control. End of discussion. It is outrageously wrong to slander such a fine young lady, especially a private citizen, like Limbaugh did. We proudly stand with Ms. Fluke and demand every republican to renounce these remarks. Sign the petition
From the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee:
I denounce Rush Limbaugh for his misogynistic attack on Sandra Fluke and all women. The Republican Party should be ashamed of itself.
Denounce Rush's Vile Misogyny
from Change.org:
Tell Republican Leaders: Denounce Rush Limbaugh's Anti-women Tirade
***Update 3/02/12***
Limbaugh now has a 3 day history of unwarranted attacks on Ms. Sandra Fluke. Outrage over his comments has spawned a petition drive to the sponsors of Mr. Limbaugh's show. As of today 6 sponsors have dropped his show. Let's get them all to drop this misogynistic bully. President Obama has personally phoned Sandra Fluke to offer his support and encouragement. What a great President. Sign The Petition to Boycott Rush's Sponsors
She has the right to birth control. We have the right not to pay for her birth control. Easy, isn't it?
