Limbaugh Continues the Attack on Women

Earlier this week we posted about the ongoing war on women and dangerous bills, infringing on the basic rights of women, at both the state and national level.  Along with these bills there has been escalating rhetoric regarding women and their access to basic health care such as birth control. Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh continued his vicious attack on Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student who was denied the opportunity to testify at the Congressional hearing regarding contraception.  Among other things Limbaugh called Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute.” Watch the full clip here, via Media Matters: Sandra Fluke’s response to these attacks was dead on, “No woman deserves to be disrespected in this manner. This language is an attack on all women, and has been used throughout history to silence our voices.”
