because according to Rush any woman (just women men are off the hook on this one) that uses the pill and it is partly or completely paid for by her insurance company is a whore. She is also asking for government handouts. She has to take one every time she has sex. It is never indicated for any other medical reason other than to let the woman be a slut and have sex with every Tom Dick and Harry that wants to have sex with her. So the way I see it any woman on the pill especially lesbians and women that can't have children for other reasons, should be able to sue Rush. This could be the biggest class action lawsuit in the nation.

Senator Carol Maloney stated on TV today that several attorneys have stepped forward and offered to take Fluke's case pro-bono if she decides to sue.
And also since Sandra Fluke is in law school I am sure she is getting a lot of free advice at the moment from her professors

As I can determine, Miss Fluke, because of Mr. Limbaugh’s vicious character attack may have a legal recourse, which she can only determine.

Prosser and Keeton on Torts. Fifth edition. West Group.

(Distinction)“…It is then said that (1) the area of dissemination, (2) the deliberate and premeditated character of it’s publication, and (3) the persistence of the defamatory conduct are factors to be considered on whether or not the form of communication has the potentially harmful qualities characteristic of written or printed words. The position is also taken by a special section that broadcasting of defamatory matter by means of radio or television is libel, whether or not it is read from a manuscript, for the reason that such defamacast has the potentially harmful qualities characteristic of the written or printed word which has historically been regarded as libel.”

(Unchastity) “…Most courts, however, have now rebelled at the reproach to the law involved in such a result, and have held that an oral imputation of unchastely to a women is actionable without proof of damage without regard to whether it charges a crime.”
