Who said fluke was 23

A third year law student at Georgetown University, she previously served as president of the university's Students for Reproductive Justice group.

Her testimony included the case of a fellow student who needed birth control to control ovarian cysts. Georgetown, a Catholic university with a prestigious law school, does not cover birth control to prevent pregnancy in its student health plan, and the student, who is gay, could not convince the insurance company she was ill. Georgetown University President John DeGioia defended Ms Fluke in a statement , calling her "a model of civil discourse" and branding Limbaugh's remarks "misogynistic, vitriolic, and a misrepresentation of the position of our student".

After criticism of his remarks, Limbaugh did not back down. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch," he said on Thursday. Catholic leaders have been angered by the new rule, which required church-linked institutions to offer health insurance including birth control while exempting houses of worship directly.

But the White House changed the scheme to allow health insurers to provide cover if employers objected. The adjustment to the policy would mean Americans would not have to choose between "religious liberty and basic fairness", he said.

Obama changes contraception rule. Sandra Fluke's testimony. Sandra Fluke said President Obama told her that her parents "should be proud". Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Democrats and women's groups protested when Issa, saying the topic of the hearing was religious freedom, not access to birth control or women's rights, rejected Fluke as a witness because she was not a member of the clergy.

Instead, Issa convened an interfaith panel made up only of men. During the hearing past week, Fluke sat quietly behind the witness table, an obvious display of her refusal to be silenced.

The all-male panel focused on the president's new mandate that employers with religious affiliations must offer health insurance plans that covered birth control. But the exclusion of the woman panelist sparked backlash from women's groups and jokes on late-night comedy shows. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi kept the issue front and center Thursday by holding her own hearing with only one witness, Sandra Fluke.
