Fort Hood Second Lieutenant Jessica Scott takes to Twitter to take on Rush

On Saturday I posted about what some of my friends had to say about Rush calling a woman a "slut" because she used birth control. Military women do in fact take birth control pills for a lot of reasons but the fact is, they do, the government pays for it and Rush, well he managed to not only insult every woman in the country but also women serving this country and risking their lives.

It turns out that there was a military woman taking on Rush publicly on Twitter and I say BRAVO to her! My friends are proud of her too! Anyone still think Rush is worth defending?

The most effective online warrior in the recent battles over contraception has been a 35-year-old Army officer in Fort Hood, Texas, whose tweets on March 2 helped galvanize women's outrage over the notion that using birth control would make someone a "slut."

Jessica Scott, a career soldier and company commander based in Fort Hood, Texas, had been folllowing the heated debate over contraception and religious liberty for a month, but Rush Limbaugh's description of a Georgetown University Law student and birth control advocate as a "slut" and "prostitute" pushed the second lieutenant over the line.

"The entire thing is absolutely appalling because her testimony wasn't even about sex," Second Lieutenant Scott told BuzzFeed in an email this weekend. "It was about a woman who'd lost an ovary because her insurance would not cover birth control pills she needed to control the ovarian cysts."

Scott, who has served in Iraq, wrote on Twitter that she "used birth control while deployed with my husband so I *wouldn't* get pregnant and sent home."
