Rush Limbaugh on the Topic of Birth Control

Before I fully start this post I will say that I don't side with any political party (Republican or Democrat). So because this post is bashing Limbaugh doesn't mean I'm doing it because I'm a Democrat. I'm doing it because I have a brain.

Limbaugh recently made a comment about birth control and said all women who use it are sluts. That sound bad? It gets worse! He also said women who take birth control should have to post themselves having sex online. Wait...what?

Now I'm not going to touch on the topic if birth control is 'right' or if it should be covered under insurance. It's not that I don't have opinion on those things, it's the fact that it's not what I'm talking about here.

First off: Just because someone takes birth control doesn't mean that person is a slut. Women take birth control for menstrual cramps, PMS, and acne (among other things).

And let's use me as an example: I'm on birth control and I'm engaged. Am I running around sleeping with other men (or women)? Fuck no! I have finally found someone I can spend the rest of my life with. I am not going to mess this up. So, no, I am NOT slut.

Second, as for the porn aspect? I don't have anything against people who make porn. Whether professional or amateur. However, I don't worship them either. The thing is that there should be a CHOICE of whether or not you make it. You shouldn't be forced into making porn because someone thinks you're a slut.

That is just so demeaning that I can't believe people actually listen to what he says. I'm even more surprised that those who listen think he's intelligent!
