UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER ECONOMIST: Rush Limbaugh Is Right, Sandra Fluke Is A ‘Prostitute’

It has been over a month since Rush Limbaugh first called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute,”but the controversy shows no sign of dying down.
Now University of Rochester economist and former Slateblogger Steven Landsburg has jumped to Limbaugh’s defense.
In a blog post, Landsburg argued that while the talk radio host’s language may have been off-color, Limbaugh’s logic was analytically shrewd. Fluke, Landsburg writes, “deserves only to be ridiculed, mocked, and jeered” for saying that women should have access to contraception.”
He adds that Limbaugh’s demand that Fluke and other Georgetown students post online sex tapes in exchange for contraception was actually a “spot-on analogy”:
“If I can reasonably be required to pay for someone else’s sex life (absent any argument about externalities or other market failures), then I can reasonably demand to share in the benefits. His dense and humorless critics notwithstanding, I am 99% sure that Rush doesn’t actually advocate mandatory on-line sex videos. What he advocates is logical consistency and an appreciation for ethical symmetry. So do I. Colorme jealous for not having thought of this analogy myself.”
Unsurprisingly, Landsburg’s arguments sparked a mini-firestorm at the University of Rochester, prompting the school’s president to issue a public dissent. Landsburg has resoundingly dismissed his critics as “contraceptive sponges,”and devoted another blog posts to rebutting their arguments in favor of contraception access.
But Landsburg’s focus on the economic benefits and drawbacks of contraception have little to do with Fluke and her congressional testimony. Fluke was not, as Limbaugh and Landsburg have suggested, “demanding” that taxpayers pay for her to have sex; her testimony was originally part of a debate about whether religious institutions should be required to provide access to contraception. Her argument focused primarily on the medical (and non-contraceptive) uses of birth control.

Sandra Fluke’s appearances on-camera thus far, as well as Rush Limbaugh’s well publicized reaction to her Congressional testimony, turned her into a martyr for the Left. But now there are not only holes in her story but she has been connected to White House advisor and former Commincations Director Anita Dunn as well as to leftist Soros sponsored media group, Media Matters.
Bill O’Reilly investigates to find out who is really behind the Sandra Fluke controversy. ‘The Factor’ discovers the Georgetown law student is being represented by an organization where Anita Dunn, the former Obama communications director, is the managing editor. He Bill O’Reilly told viewers in a segment with Laura Ingraham that he strongly believes that the White House is “running” Sandra Fluke and has been behind her from the beginning.
And then over the weekend, O’Reilly’s team uncovers that Sandra Fluke’s boyfriend is son of ‘Democratic stalwart William Mutterperl’… My, my, my!
It has become more and more evident that the appearance of Sandra Fluke is no fluke but rather has turned out to be a straw woman for Team Obama and the Progressive left… She is connected to Media Matters and the White House and is a professional activist for contraception, abortion and even taxpayer funds for sex change operations. While she is described as a “third year law student” they always conveniently fail to mention that she is also the past president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice.
Fluke is really 30-years-old (not the 23 that has been reported), and specifically went to Georgetown to fight their contraception policy – far from the innocent, wide-eyed victim she’s tried to portray herself to be. And Fluke’s testimony for Congress, included precisely zero references to recreational sex or to abortion. Instead, Fluke would have her audience believe she’s only interested in non-sexual reasons for needing contraceptive pills – such as treating ovarian cancer. According to one study, the number of people to whom this applies is about 14 percent of all contraceptive users.
But is this really all Fluke’s agenda is? Based on the affiliations she herself has cited, that question may be more complicated. Near the beginning of her testimony, Fluke said the following (emphasis added):
My name is Sandra Fluke, and I’m a third year student at Georgetown Law, a Jesuit school. I’m also a past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice or LSRJ. I’d like to acknowledge my fellow LSRJ members and allies and all of the student activists with us and thank them for being here today.
So if Fluke has these sorts of ties to an organization and mentions them by name for the purposes of appreciation, readers will probably assume she supports their agenda.
Now there seems to be increasing speculation that Sandra Fluke might be a great grandchild of Fabian/Progressive Founder of Planned Parenthood and the Negro Projectwhose beliefs are rooted in eugenics. The speculation began when someone noticed how much Sanger and Fluke look alike.
Margaret Sanger
Sandra Fluke
Margaret Sanger had 2 sons–Stuart and Grant–still looking into Stuart, but found this death notice for Grant (he was a Dr. and it says that he was survived by his wife, the former Edwina Campbell; three sons, Michael, of Baltimore, Alexander, of Manhattan, and Morgan, of Tortola, British Virgin Islands; a daughter, Anne Sanger of Bozrah, Conn., and 11 grandchildren.

Thoughts: Are “Sanger” and “Fluke” considered typical names? And the fact that they were together is quite a coincidence? Also, the current Ms. Fluke, her middle name is “Kay”, which can be a nickname for “Kathryn”.
