This weekend Rush Limbaugh decided to use some defamatory words towards a female student on his radio show, here is an article about the situation: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/03/rush-limbaugh-apologizes-to-sandra-fluke_n_1318718.html
While I am glad he apologized, I am appalled by his comments. As much as I disagree with miss Fluke, I cannot condone and must condemn treating any women like this, no matter where she stands on an issue. As a father I am heartbroken for Sandra Flukes father to have to hear that kind of hatred spewed towards his daughter.
The pro-life movement is about fighting for all women, born and unborn / pro-life or pro-choice, they must ALL be treated with respect and not be subject to this kind of nastiness. For us to truly call ourselves pro-life, we must stand for the dignity of all women and that includes pro-choice women. We simply cannot sink to a level like this which lacks basic love and compassion.
I may wholeheartedly disagree with Sandra Fluke on the abortion or contraception issues, but I must love her as a person and treat her with the dignity that all women deserve. Calling women sluts and prostitutes because of their beliefs is not love and cannot be tolerated.
I am highly intrigued by what you may think on this issue, please leave a comment and let me know.
