Sick
I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of the radical right’s war on women.
After listening to Rush Limbaugh’s disgusting and repeated smears of Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke last week, it’s more clear than ever that the right’s constant attacks on women are no coincidence. From the incessant drumbeat to defund women’s health programs at Planned Parenthood, to the Blunt Amendment that would have allowed any employer to deny women basic health care, radical conservatives have shown that they are determined to roll back women’s rights.
Calling a woman who had the courage to testify before Congress in defense of women’s health a “slut” is not simply a poor choice of words. It’s an insult to all women and it’s outside the mainstream. Our politics has been coarsened by bullies who try to shout down women for standing up for good health care coverage.
Our health care is too important for vile rhetoric and baseless attacks.
