28. I'm ALSO Boycotting Rush Limbaugh and his SPONSORS!!!!
Fri Mar 2, 2012, 12:45 AM
Mar 2012

I'm DONE with Rush Limbaugh AND his sponsors!!!

I will NOT buy ANYTHING from his sponsors until they drop him. Rush needs to step into the the modern age instead of pushing 15th century outdated ethics by attempting to push HIS SPECIFIC religion into our government as an attempt to attack women and their personal health choices.

His slanderous words are COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE in calling a woman a slut for simply testifying on the importance of contraception for prevention of serious health issues, as well as family planning...both very personal issues between a man and a woman, and a very personal choice for a woman's right to PROTECT HER OWN BODY.

Here's the news Rush.....

In the United States of America, we're NOT all Catholics, therefore, we should NOT be forced to follow their outdated and unfounded beliefs that contraception is 'evil'. Women NEED contraception for prevention and protection of their own body and health. Taking the pill, or using condoms, does NOT make someone a 'slut ' or a prostitute as what Rush Limbaugh claims.

Let's call a spade a spade here....Rush is attempting to dilute Separation of Church and State, and he is clearly oblivious of what our country stands for...EQUAL LIBERTY AND PROTECTION of ALL AMERICANS...not just white, rich, Christian/Catholic men. (In fact, 20% of the country has no religious affiliation AT ALL, and women outnumber men in our country).

How can Rush Limbaugh blatantly dismiss ALL THE OTHER religious views who ACCEPT CONTRACEPTION and ACCEPT A WOMAN'S RIGHT to choose what is best for her own body in accordance with doctor's advice, and the non-religious AND religious women who NEED contraception to prevent health issues? It's clear that Rush ASSUMES everyone MUST be Christian, specifically Catholic. In other words, he is flat out delusional, and should be REMOVED FROM THE AIR!!!
