Sandra Fluke's prime time address to the Democrats reeked of dishonesty.
She distorted and lied and didn't make sense, but the party faithful loved it all.
SANDRA FLUKE: In that America, your new president could be a man who stands by when a public figure tries to silence a private citizen with hateful slurs. Who won't stand up to the slurs, or to any of the extreme, bigoted voices in his own party. It would be an America in which you have a new vice president who co-sponsored a bill that would allow pregnant women to die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms. An America in which states humiliate women by forcing us to endure invasive ultrasounds we don't want and our doctors say we don't need. An America in which access to birth control is controlled by people who will never use it; in which politicians redefine rape so survivors are victimized all over again; in which someone decides which domestic violence victims deserve help, and which don't. We know what this America would look like. In a few short months, it's the America we could be. But it's not the America we should be. It's not who we are.
What a crock!
Absolutely shameful.
War on women?
What about Fluke's war on Catholics and the Bill of Rights?

Calling a woman who exercises her free speech on behalf of others a "slut" is never appropriate. Rush Limbaugh used 15 hours of radio broadcast time to castigate her. I applaud her for finding the courage to move forward.
I agree that Limbaugh was wrong to call her a "slut," etc.
Very inappropriate.
That sort of stuff has no place in civil debate.
What bothered me about Fluke's remarks last night, as well as the Leftist media's response to them, was the omission of the context, that Fluke was attacking Georgetown's Catholic values and infringing on the Bill of Rights.
On the PBS coverage, Judy Woodruff referred to Fluke as an activist trying to get contraception included in a "health care policy." Technically correct, but the omission of the Catholic context was deceptive.
I'll gladly pay for her birth control for the rest of her life if she promises to never procreate.
