Rush Limbaugh is right! The Sandra Fluke controversy

The attacks on Rush Limbaugh and his comments on Sandra Fluke (who as far as I am concerned should be Sandra Flake) are uncalled for and worse than anything he said about her. Does no one understand the true meaning of "separation of church and state?" (A phrase, by the way, which does NOT appear in the Constitution.) This is meant to protect religious institutions from the government, not to protect the government from religious institutions!! Duh!!

This young woman chose to go to a Jesuit college. They have strongly held religious beliefs, and it is NOT the federal government's place to be FORCING a religious institution to go against their religious beliefs and pay for or provide something to someone that the religious institution feels is morally wrong. If Sandra Flake (Fluke, whatever) chose to go to a Jesuit college, she implicitly is choosing to abide by the belief and value system of that college. If she is not willing or able to abide by their belief system, she is free to choose a different college. No one is forcing her to go to this college.

Is she going to this college to get an education, or so she can sleep around with all the fellas on campus? Is she going there to hit the books or to hit the sack with the guys? She could choose to spend $3000 a year on things that would help her with her education, not on birth control that would, as our President would say, "help her to avoid being punished with a baby." Our taxpayer dollars should not go to help someone avoid the consequences of sexual promiscuity, or, as Rush so aptly put it, "being a slut." Abstinence is not impossible, it costs nothing, and it doesn't get you talked about on the radio. Nobody ever died from abstinence, nobody ever got an STD from abstinence, and nobody ever got unwantedly pregnant from abstinence. You're going to school to get an education, not to be sexually promiscuous at taxpayer expense. Grow up, Sandra.

LEAVE RUSH LIMBAUGH ALONE.
