A donation of a dollar from everyone in attendance would buy her five months worth of birth control pills. Why do I get the impression that of the approximate 40 in attendance half of them were the media?
Women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke made an appearance on Turlington Plaza on Wednesday to encourage students to utilize early voting for next week’s presidential election.
Fluke stopped at UF as part of her “It’s On You” Youth Early Vote Campus Outreach tour.
About 40 students gathered by the potato statue to listen.
“Florida is so critical to this election,” Fluke said in her speech.
She received national attention after a congressional controversy regarding whether insurance should include a contraception mandate. Talk show host Rush Limbaugh then called her a “slut” on air.
Of course Limbaugh also apologized, but they never mention that part. Heck, this report even has Rush in the headline.
