Nun sides with Fluke “That awful man should be fired for what he said"
It’s tempting to say that the timing of these events—and the eighty new restrictions on abortion rights that were enacted by state legislatures in 2011, up from twenty-three in 2010—is not unlikely at all, and that it is precisely because women are on the ascendant in the public sphere that conservatives seem so eager to undermine them in the private one. But that seems more systematic than is probable. The real attraction of the birth-control issue was that it could be used to bash Obamacare. It’s not proving to be a very effective weapon, however. When birth control is uncoupled from the religious-freedom argument—and when conservatives start talking in ugly ad-hominem language, like Limbaugh’s, or clueless anachronistic language, like Santorum’s—women, in particular, do not respond well. Just after Limbaugh lashed out at Fluke, a Georgetown professor attended a reunion at a Catholic school in Queens. An elderly nun asked her, “Do you know that girl?” She added, “That awful man should be fired for what he said. How’s she holding up?”

Looks like he's really up shit creek now
When you tick off a nun, you better start looking for cover A.S.A.P. 
(ETA) The particular Catholic School I went to in the early 1960's strongly believed in harsh corporal punnishment as well as verbal degredation for even the most minor of perceived offenses. Thus the term "survivor." I am not saying all Catholic Schools past or present were or are necessarily as bad.
My 8th grade homeroom nun was the greatest teacher I ever had from Kindergarten through Grad school.
However, my standard joke is that the nuns taught me 2 things; that Jesus was a Carpenter and how to take a good punch.
At that time, if you came home and said "Sister hit me", you got hit again for MAKING Sister hit you. If you came home and said "Fther hit me" you were dead where you stood.
I wonder today, however, how many kids were actoally saying "Father hit ON me"! 
PEACE!
