In a March 29 CNSNews.com article on a Feminist Majority Foundation summit, Penny Starr describes Sandra Fluke as “the Georgetown Law student who gained notoriety in recent weeks for telling members of Congress that she and other students were suffering because their birth control costs were not covered in their health insurance plans.”
Um, no. Her “notoriety” comes from being smeared as a “slut” and a “prostitute,” among many other denigrating things, by Rush Limbaugh.
Starr also falsely states that Fluke said she herself was “suffering because their birth control costs were not covered in their health insurance plans.” In fact, Fluke never discussed her sex life or her financial situation during her congressional testimony.
Gee, wonder why Starr didn’t mention any of that?
