Rumor has it Ms. Fluke is a lesbo athlete who uses the pill to regulate her menstrual cycle. Who knows. She voluntarily appeared before this committee knowing it would be televised. She’s an avid, vocal and very public advocate of her causes. This makes her a public figure who’s open to being mocked and hyperbolized. She might win in a lawsuit, but most slander and libel suits are overturned.
Exactly.
And the key point is why should lesbians like Ms. Fluke receive free birth control pills paid for by the taxpayer just so she can regulate her menstrual cycle?
My understanding is that he did not directly call her a slut. I believe that he said something to the equivalent that what the ‘lady’ described is the definition of a slut.
