Radio host Rush Limbaugh wasn’t the only one taunting Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke last week.

Actress Patricia Heaton, who stars in ABC’s “The Middle,” tweeted her take on the contraception debate, making sarcastic remarks about Fluke’s congressional testimony. An outspoken conservative, Heaton wrote various tweets on the topic, including this one: "Hey G-Town: stop buying toothpaste, soap, and shampoo! You'll save money, and no one will want to sleep with you!" On Saturday, Heaton apologized to Fluke, writing, “Mea culpa! We have diff opinions but I was too flippant in my attempt at humor.” The actress added that while she still disagrees with Fluke, she “was not showing Christ's love” in the way she handled the discussion.

While Heaton’s Twitter account appeared to be disabled for some time on Monday, the actress resurfaced and reiterated that she was sorry about the tweets.


"Generosity. That was my first mistake."
"Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us."
"Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
