Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law school student at the heart of the debate over contraception, dismissed Rush Limbaugh’s apology for calling her a “slut.”
Fluke appeared on ABC’s “The View” on Monday to discuss Limbaugh’s apology, which she said she believes the conservative radio host only issued because of pressure from his show’s sponsors.
I don’t think that a statement like this, issued saying that his choice of words was not the best, changes anything. Especially when that statement is issued when he’s under significant pressure from his sponsors, who have begun to pull support from his show.”
Eight companies — including AOL, the parent company of The Huffington Post — have parted ways with Limbaugh since he made the harsh remarks about Fluke.
From AOL:
At AOL one of our core values is that we act with integrity. We have monitored the unfolding events and have determined that Mr. Limbaugh’s comments are not in line with our values. As a result we have made the decision to suspend advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Radio show.”
Fluke said she was “shocked and stunned” when she heard about Limbaugh’s comments.
I think any woman who has ever been called these types of names is [shocked] at first. But then I tried to see this for what it is, and I believe that what it is is an attempt to silence me, to silence the millions of women and the men who support them who have been speaking out about this issue and conveying that contraception is an important health care need that they need to have met in an affordable, accessible way.”
