Activist Sandra Fluke called Republican positions on women's rights "offensive" during her speech Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.

Earlier this year, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called the Georgetown University law student a "slut" after she called for Catholic universities to provide contraceptive coverage for students. He later apologized.

Fluke said President Obama stood up for her at the time -- but Mitt Romney did not.

Fluke testified on Capitol Hill in favor of contraception coverage when it was being discussed as part of President Obama's health care reform law.
