She's being libeled and slandered! Seems to me she has more than enough grounds to sue. And yes, take the settlement and donate it to Planned Parenthood. There should be CONSEQUENCES for spewing this shit. Certainly you're free to spew, but there should be a price to pay for doing so if you're spewing hatred, racism, and misogyny. Hey, don imus is likely to think twice before blurting out any wise-ass crack about "nappy-headed hos" from here on. It cost him to do that. It cost him his job, his media power base, his reputation, and probably a fair amount of money. It was once a practice to shun people who did wrong. Because sometimes that was the only way to get any justice. limbaugh should be shunned - straight off the air! Used to be we'd shout at bullies - "hey, why dontcha pick on somebody your own size?" Now we reward and reinforce it by showering money and power on it.
