re: #54 Lidane

That and when you actually watch her testimony, you quickly realize just how dishonest Rush is being. She never once mentions her sex life, or anyone’s sex life. Her testimony was limited to insurance coverage for contraception and she points out that women take birth control pills for more than just avoiding pregnancy.

His lies are immediately obvious to anyone who cares to look. Plus, we’re in a very tech-savvy age where social media plays a big part. It’s real easy to tweet and share and post on Facebook, so it’s real easy for people to express their outrage and mobilize to defend Sandra Fluke.

I think there is another contributing factor that I would call a critical mass factor. The assaults on women’s healthcare have been hitting fast and hard with more states passing or trying to pass the invasive sonogram bills, the Komen and Republican attacks on Planned Parenthood including the nonsense here in Texas that is costing low income women Medicaid funding, etc. Add Limbaugh calling women taking birth control sluts and prostitutes and his misogynist minions spewing their bile and the Uterati has come out in battle dress ready to draw blood in righteous self defense.
