Sandra Fluke: Romney didn't defend me from Limbaugh

In a column for the Huffington Post, Sandra Fluke explains why she'll be campaigning with President Obama today. She also talks about her displeasure with Mitt Romney:

"[...] I've already seen what Mr. Romney's lack of leadership looks like.

"When I was verbally attacked earlier this year, I was heartened by the many Americans who reached out in support, regardless of their politics. President Obama was one of them. He condemned those hateful words and supported my right to speak without being attacked.

"Mr. Romney was not. When Rush Limbaugh called me a 'slut' and a 'prostitute' for speaking about medical needs for contraception, Mr. Romney could only say that it 'wasn't the language [he] would have used.' If Mr. Romney can't stand up to the extreme voices in his own party, we know he'll never stand up for women and protect the rights that generations of women fought so hard to ensure."
