so i get to pay for the birth control and if it fails i get to pay for the abortion and if that fails or doesnt happen i get to pay for the kids health insurance.
seems fair.
Time to institute a restriction on the number of children people can have, I'd say.
As a society we cannot afford to have under-educated or malnurished children, for the sake of the future or monetarily.
Regarding the points made above about alleged hypocrisy as between similar comments from left leaning commentators and Rush, I note that some key points wereleft out by posters itt.
For example, someone pointed out that Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a "slut." What the poster (Drevol) did NOT tell you was that Schultz was suspended for a week without pay and that Schultz had Ingraham on his show and apologized, personally and directly to her, which she accepted.
Limbaugh ought to call up the student and apologize personally, as Schultz did, imo.

So let me get this straight, when someone like Bill O'Reilly complains about Pepsi using Ludacris (which I didn't see a problem with) for a spokes person due to his lyrics about women, that's wrong and racist.
When Rush is nailed for using the term "slut" about a woman who wants us to foot the bill for birth control, it's ok for the sponsors to drop him... and we have to hear about everyone who does?
Am I the only one that sees a double standard here?
As has been pointed out several times, this is to divert attention away form the actual issue... and it's somehow vindication for those who dislike Rush.
I've never been a fan of boycotts, pulling advertising etc but in the end a company has to do what they believe is in their best interests. If I thought advertising on Rush was hurting me then I'd pull the ads in a heartbeat (provided the backlash wasn't worse)
I can think of no time I've threatened a company with my business because of who they advertised with or some political position they've taken. I can vote with my pocketbook if necessary but see no need to make a big deal out of it.
irth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if gender reassignment surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. She makes these views clear in an article she co-edited with Karen Hu in the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law.
The title of the article . . . is Employment Discrimination Against LGBTQ Persons and was published in the Journals 2011 Annual Review.
