Dear Rush Limbaugh: Birth Control Doesn't Work Like Viagra

If taking a pill that someone else paid for every time you have sex makes you a slut/prostitute, then what does that make Rash Limbaugh? (O he who got caught with someone else's Viagra)

http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/03/rush-limbaugh-does-not-understand-how-birth-control-works

Does Rush Limbaugh think birth control works like Viagra?

His misogynistic assault on Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke indicates that he does.

(snip)

The "subsidizing-your-sex-life" argument Limbaugh is making is related to, but nevertheless distinct from the religious objection to birth control. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has opposed even allowing insurance companies to foot the bill for contraception for employees of Catholic institutions. However, it has no objection in principle to prescription drug coverage that includes Viagra. Neither, one assumes, does Rush Limbaugh. So if he wants to contend that covering birth control is akin to paying women for sex, let's hear him explain why men who want their insurance to cover their erectile dysfunction pills are not "sluts" or "prostitutes."

(end snip)


GOPers are very good at projection, n'est-ce pas?
