I agree, if she has a medical condition that can be treated by birth control.

Perhaps you missed the part where Limbaugh said that he wanted Ms. Fluke to make a video of sexual acts for his entertainment purposes. That is the type of "criticism" to which one exposes herself by making public statements? Limbaugh's comments would be out of bounds if the subject of his pathetic rambling were the Secretary of State or the Governor of Alaska.

Rush was making a point that if this woman wanted public assistance, she should do something in return for this assistance. While he is almost as emphatic as Liberal pundents, such as Bill Mayer, he did make the point.

Do you ever tire of making moral equivalences? Why should what anyone else did justify the perversion demonstrated by Rush Limbaugh? Are you really taking the position that she deserved what Limbaugh dished out?

Perhaps not, but when you take a public position, on a public forum, you open yourself to criticism from the public. Just how do you believe a Liberal pundit would have responder if they did not believe her testimony ?



Would your position be different if the person testifying was a married mother of two children, who worked and struggled to make ends meet and whose family is in no position to add another person? Those individuals would also be denied access to this prescription medication if their employers got the special treatment they seek.

If it was the employers religious beliefs that birth control was murder NO!
If the medication was needed to treat a medical condition, other than preventing a normal safe pregnancy. YES !
Pregnancy is not a medical condition, pregnancy is a choice that you either enter upon by choice, or by indifference, carelessness, stupidity.

Bottom line: there is a prescription medication that prevents pregnancy. Pregnancy is a condition that requires medical treatment - and can change the course of one's life. This is a condition that only affects women. By what moral authority do you or anyone else have the right to single out this medication for exclusion from all other medications available to enhance the health of individuals?

Answered above.
