Brown University professor Tricia Rose puts the Blunt Amendment and Rush Limbaugh’s recent attacks on Sandra Fluke into context. Rose says that recent legislation on contraception funding appears to “penalize women for the entire sex act.” It’s a battle against women’s rights that is not accidental, she adds. “This is an absolute war on women’s bodies,” Rose says. “These aren’t random wildfires. This is the work of a collective group of arsonists, and they are setting women’s rights on fire across the board.”
