The Land of the Free – Sorry Oppressed!
This story with a title of Limbaugh slut slur student Sandra Fluke gets Obama call, on the BBC web site sums up a lot of what I find objectionable in the United States. The first paragraph says it all.
US President Barack Obama has called to offer support to a US law student attacked by radio host Rush Limbaugh for her views on contraception.
Just think what would happen if a talk-show host on a UK radio station, had said similar things to a student in the UK. Limbaugh called the student a slut and a prostitute. They would probably be fired instantly.
What seems to be missing here, is that your health is firstly your own responsibility and if that means you need contraception, then you should be able to get it. No institution has the right to tell you what you can’t do in this area. I always thought, the United States was supposed to be the Land of the Free. Not the Land of the Oppressed!
