He ridicules women who want contraceptives covered by their health plans, suggesting they "hold an aspirin between their knees."
He suggests they should post tapes of their sexual encounters online.
He refers to them as sluts and prostitutes.
Only one conclusion occurs to me. Rush Limbaugh is full of organic (avian, bovine or equine, take your pick) fertilizer.
As the mother of two long since grown and married daughters, I can still remember how important it was to me that they be informed and comfortable about contraception options both before and after their marriages. Bringing an unplanned, unwanted child into an overpopulated world is not a responsible act. Yes there are women and girls barely out of childhood who chose to do this when faced with the "oops" of an unplanned pregnancy. Some small minority of them (one person in particular comes to mind) end up doing a great job raising their child. Many, many more make a sad hash of it.
Teenagers and unmarried young adults will be sexually active. Of course they will. To think otherwise is to live in an alternative universe. Depriving them of the tools that enable them to prevent pregnancy fails them personally and fails society.
Traditionally it is the female that pays the price for unwanted pregnancies. Misogynistic pundits like Rush Limbaugh do not deserve and should not have a voice in the matter.
Rush Limbaugh and his ilk are full of organic fertilizer.
Here's what I think...

Rush's main job,when he's not self-medicating, is to provoke controversy & gain viewership. If you don't get sucked in, he fails. Pot.Kettle.Black.
