Sandra Fluke is a third year Georgetown law student and reproductive rights activist. She just spoke before the House Democratic Policy Committee: “Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy.”
AP: “Last Thursday the Republican-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee rejected Democrats’ request that Fluke testify on the Obama administration’s policy requiring that employees of religion-affiliated institutions have access to health insurance that covers birth control.”
During the Arizona debate John King attempted to one up himself on the Newt open marriage question in S Carolina by asking about birth control. All of the problems on the top of voters minds and this? No wonder everyone wants facetime with Sandra.
Look at this closer. Public interest scholarship law students spending $3,000 for ‘protection’ over 3 years and they work during the summer. That’s 9 months of school, approximately 270 days minus vacations, round it at 250 days. Sandra went to Congress with the cost of $1,000 per year. Divide the $1,000 by the 250 days, $4 per, and that’s what she is demanding taxpayers provide her to make her education whole. The insurance companies have refused.
What out there costs more than $4? Everyday? When do these people have time to study?
On the truly disgusting side of all of this Obama and the liberals have opened a new effort in ObamaCare to force our veterans to accept higher fiscal responsibility in their premiums and deductibles as well as sacrificing benefits.

Your entire entry is absurd.
1. Georgetown Law’s insurance provides birth control to employees, but not to students.
2. Georgetown Med REQUIRES women taking part in testing of new drugs promise to use contraception — in writing.
3. Georgetown’s insurance pays for Viagra for single men and for vasectomies for any man, both of which are MORE against Church teachings than contraceptive pills, which are often used to treat everything from menopause to ovarian cancer to dysmenorrhea.
3. There are no tax dollars for contraception anywhere in here.
4. Fluke’s testimony was about ovarian cancer, not contraception.
5. Fluke is an amazing woman who has devoted her whole adult life to making the world a better place, and who has committed to doing so for the rest of her life as well. Her biography: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/pils/scholars.htm

4. Fluke’s testimony was about ovarian cancer, not contraception.
Your presupposition that Fluke’s testimony focused on ovarian cancer is related directly to cysts, the idea that the pill, a contraceptive, could have prevented them. I spent a long time in one of the country’s finest oncology departments, spare me the run around.
Sandra Fluke chose Georgetown knowing the university did not provide students with free contraceptives. What is she being denied?
She cannot pay for the contraceptives and we are back to the Obama fair share game. She wants to get laid and she needs welfare for sex. Imagine begging for donations to get laid.
5. Fluke is an amazing woman…
Show your appreciation and write her a check.
