At a hearing of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee yesterday, a single witness — Georgetown law student and “reproductive rights activist” Sandra Fluke — told sympathetic policy-makers that the administration’s so-called contraception mandate should stand … because her peers are going broke buying birth control.
“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception),” Fluke reported.
It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.
“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,” Fluke told the hearing.
Craig Bannister at CNSNews.com did the math — and discovered that these co-eds, assuming they’re using the cheapest possible contraception, must be having unprotected sex about three times a day every day to incur that kind of expense.
“If this woman ever got laid, it would be a FLUKE”
Permit me to add to this statement: if this woman ever got laid by A MALE, it would be a FLUKE. She has lesbian written all over her - she’s doing this to advertise herself - not because she needs the pills herself.
So whats the big deal about birth control?
Dont they teach about anal sex at Georgetown anymore?
...Or is that “wrong”?
If she’s a musician at all, I’d bet 10 to one she’s a harmonica player and not a flautist.
The woman pays because it was women of the past who thought birth control via the woman was the way to go. You know, the way to freedom and the way to control of their own body, and the way to be equal with men. When this happened, the honor and virtue of the woman was destroyed. The truth is the woman had control before bc pills, total control. They gave away their power and now want the rest of us to pay for their immorality.
You just know the GOP is going to surrender on this issue
Well..not for nothing...she looks like a rug muncher to me - has the regulation haircut - so I doubt she needs BC. Probably going to scalp it on the black market.
That's reserved for the clergy.
Ha ha, I jest, I jest.
Our government is in shambles.
Im glad Siebelius let kansas, but she is doing damage like the big boys now. They should all be so proud.

Note to Georgetown students: Target sells the pill for nine bucks a month
Birth control pills can be purchased for as low as $9 per month at a pharmacy near Georgetown’s campus. According to an employee at the pharmacy in Washington, D.C.’s Target store, the pharmacy sells birth control pills–the generic versions of Ortho Tri-Cyclen and Ortho-Cyclen–for $9 per month. “That’s the price without insurance,” the Target employee said. Nine dollars is less than the price of two beers at a Georgetown bar.
It strains credulity to believe that a single Georgetown student can’t afford $9 per month for birth control. But this is the justification the mandate’s supporters give for forcing religious institutions to purchase insurance that violates their religious and moral.
These law students ought to audit an economics 101 class.
A fair point. Many Catholic Universities slipped the leash many years ago.
$9 x 12mo = $108
$108 x 3yr = $324
I think Ms. Fluke went to the Nancy Pelosi school of math.
“Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”
Nancy Pelosi
Democrats: fighting for the right to remain childish and slutty.
THAT’S the limit!!
No pride, no shame, no sense!!
I think her numbers might be correct. You have four main cost-factors:
Condoms
D-Cell Batteries (most of her encounters are solo)
Liquor (for when they are not)
Viagra (he's gonna need an "assist")
Paper bags (2 per encounter)
Add all of this up and it could very well cost this particular person a grand a year or even more.
Have any of the men she’s allegedly had sex with come forward to admit it?
A beer coverage mandate is coming next.
D'Oh!
All I can think of is the classic Rush clip
“We’re fierce, we’re feminists, and we’re in your face”
It costs nothing to keep your legs together, freeloader bee-otch.
Ha!
You know, you're exactly right. And if I could be so bold as to suggest something else . . .we both forgot to factor in the cost of the occasional gigolo or two. Not the Barney Frank "Hot Bottom" type, of course. Although, who knows? She might be the type who likes to strap on a tool belt once in a while.
