and people ARE talking about the bigger issues b/c THAT'S the real argument - i.e. equal protection for access to health care for 51% of the population vs. a minority religious view that wants to told it's okay to discriminate against women because they have icky ladyparts.
This has everything to do with right wing extremists who hate women and think it's okay to express that hatred. All of this country, or a large part of it, is now aware of this extremely vile trait that is THE REASON for their war against women.
...because they have icky ladyparts.
For Rush to say: Ms. Fluke, who bought your condoms in junior high? Who bought your condoms in the sixth grade, or your contraception?"
“essentially (Fluke) says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.”
“a woman who is happily presenting herself as an immoral, baseless, no-purpose-to-her-life woman.”,
“they want to have sex any time, as many times and as often as they want, with as many partners as they want”, “Now, what does that make her? She wants us to buy her sex.”,
“Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal: If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. And I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”

to read Pamela Geller say that Fluke: "she wants the US taxpayers to pay for her rampant sexual activity. By all accounts she is banging it five times a day. She sounds more like a prostitute to me. She must have an gyno bill to choke a horse (pun intended). Slut was a softball.
Obama calls her and tells Sandra Slut Fluke that her parents should be so proud of her. He’s a pimp."
and have someone have a comment remain on her site that says:
you know what.. I hope fluke gets circumcised totally..
she supports muslims wholeheartedly..
may her clit be sliced to the root..

(I'm not gonna link to her, you can find this online via google)
To see these gems from Patricia Heaton:
"Hey GTown Gal: How about only having sex on Wednesday? (Hump Day),
"Hey G-Town Gal: turn your underwear inside out! Then u only have to do laundry every 2 weeks—saves on detergent & trips to Laundromat!"
"If your parents have to pay for your birth control, maybe they should get a say in who u sleep with. Instant birth control."

Or this from a college conservative:
"Sandra doesn’t even speak for all skanks! She only speaks for the skanks who don't want to take responsibility for their choices."
http://thecollegeconservative.com/2012/03/02/sandra-fluke-does-not-speak-for-me/
People can note:
Fluke never mentions her own sex life in her testimony, so people attacking her for doing so lack even the flimsiest of pretenses.
They're speculating about Fluke's sex life because they think the most effective way to silence her is through a sustained carpet bombing of sexist stereotypes.
http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/03/limbaugh-not-only-conservative-who-fails-understand-how-birth-control-works
They are attacking her because she is the stand-in for ALL women who have to live in a nation that thinks this is acceptable political discourse from one of two major parties.
One political party in this nation so hates females that they do not see how entirely beyond the realm of decency they have gone.
