He was referring to Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown University, a Catholic school whose health plans did not cover birth control pills. The Heath advisory committees had concluded that birth control pills were a critical element of women’s health. Congress was debating a rule that would exempt religions from having to provide birth control as a part of their health insurance if it was against their beliefs. However, universities, hospitals, museums and civil activities run by churches were not exempt, Ms Fluke testified before Congress that her birth control pills cost her much money out of pocket. Many conservatives throughout the country opposed the requirement, some on religious conscience grounds and others like Limbaugh who opposed because they opposed birth control itself. So Limbaugh concluded that since with insurance paying for birth control for women, the women were getting paid to have sex. Therefore Ms. Fluke was a prostitute and a slut.

They realized the inappropriate logic and use of language and the meanness that Limbaugh exhibited, but with few exceptions they were afraid that if they opposed him publicly, Limbaugh would retaliate on the airways and he was the major Republican spokesman at the time.
