Select Comfort is pulling its ads from the Rush Limbaugh show.

MSNBC reports the bed maker is among companies fielding a firestorm of complaints after Limbaugh called a college student a "slut" after she testified before a U.S. House committee about the high costs of birth control.

"Due to recent commentary by Rush Limbaugh that does not align with our values, we’ve made the decision to immediately suspend all advertising on that program," Select Comfort announced on Facebook.

Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke told a House panel that two out of five female law students at the school struggle to pay for contraception.

"Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. ... That's practically an entire summer's salary," Fluke said.

Watch her full testimony:

Limbaugh told radio listeners that Fluke's testimony "makes her a slut."

"She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex," he said.
