I don't think she is getting loans. I think she has some public scholarship. You know, the ones we Taxpayers fund.

I may be wrong about this. Anybody know where the money comes from? Follow the money, it's the only was to be sure.

The $250 is probably what she leaves on the Nightstand when she goes home in the morning.

Short Chicago Tribune article (with Flukes video) supplies the salient details of the Limbaugh/Flukes firestorm, including:

"Fluke had attempted to testify last month at a congressional committee hearing on the Obama administration’s new rule requiring employers to offer health plans that include birth control coverage, but she was excluded from the panel. She testified instead at a mock hearing organized by Democratic lawmakers...."

Rush Limbaugh: Obama calls Sandra Fluke to express 'support'

Little Reported BACKGROUND: Who Is Sandra Flukes?

The GateWay Pundit now linking to same source as thread below:

THREAD: Sandra Fluke’s Appearance Is No Fluke ( Rush & the Slut Fluke, Mega Leftist)

Sandra Fluke’s Appearance Is No Fluke

Posted by on Mar 02, 2012 at 10:49 am

For me the interesting part of the story is the ever-evolving “coed”. I put that in quotes because in the beginning she was described as a Georgetown law student. It was then revealed that prior to attending Georgetown she was an active women’s right advocate. In one of her first interviews she is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown’s insurance policy prior to committing to attend, and seeing that it didn’t cover contraceptive services, she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy.

During this time, she was described as a 23-year-old coed. Magically, at the same time Congress is debating the forced coverage of contraception, she appears and is even brought to Capitol Hill to testify. This morning, in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show, it was revealed that she is 30 years old, NOT the 23 that had been reported all along.

In other words, folks, you are being played. She has been an activist all along and the Dems were just waiting for the appropriate time to play her.

While she is described as a “third year law student” they always fail to mention that she is also the past president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice.

July 30 2011

Does your campus’s LSRJ chapter face opposition in regard to facilitating a comprehensive conversation about reproductive justice? Well mine definitely does! While my campus has a mix of people with different backgrounds, and a rich liberal arts community, the Midwest doesn’t exactly scream bleeding liberal. Some LSRJ chapters at conservative campuses face opposition in the form of other, more conservative, student run organizations; some face it from their administrations, and others from their peers, or the community in general. Whatever the opposition is, it can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening.

The question is, how do we combat this conservative opposition and oppression, in order to facilitate a discussion and educate others about the RJ movement? I am obviously not alone in facing these problems, as Sandra Fluke of Georgetown lead a packed room in a discussion on this question at the first Issue Caucus that I attended at the Leadership Institute, LSRJ’s national conference at Berkeley.

While no solution was definitively reached, and I personally don’t begin to have the “right” answer, I was really charged by the discussion and feel many great ideas were presented. Some campus chapters decided to take an adversarial approach, feeling it important to use those “scary” words the opposition fears.

Further background research on Ms Fluke reveals that she got her start in government in New York in 2009.

Sandra Fluke’s professional background in domestic violence and human trafficking began with Sanctuary for Families in New York City. There, she launched the agency’s pilot Program Evaluation Initiative. While at Sanctuary, she co-founded the New York Statewide Coalition for Fair Access to Family Court, which after a twenty-year stalemate, successfully advocated for legislation granting access to civil orders of protection for unmarried victims of domestic violence, including LGBTQ victims and teens. Sandra was also a member of the Manhattan Borough President’s Taskforce on Domestic Violence and numerous other New York City and New York State coalitions that successfully advocated for policy improvements impacting victims of domestic violence.

As the 2010 recipient of the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles Fran Kandel Public Interest Grant, she researched, wrote, and produced an instructional film on how to apply for a domestic violence restraining order in pro per. She has also interned with the Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking; Polaris Project; Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County; Break the Cycle; the Domestic Violence Legal Empowerment and Appeals Project; NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund; Crime Victim and Sexual Assault Services; and the Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County.

Through Georgetown’s clinic programs, Sandra has proposed legislation based on fact-finding in Kenya regarding child trafficking for domestic work, and has represented victims of domestic violence in protection order cases. Sandra is the Development Editor of the Journal of Gender and the Law, and served as the President of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and the Vice President of the Women’s Legal Alliance. In her first year, she also co-founded a campus committee addressing human trafficking. Cornell University awarded her a B. S. in Policy Analysis & Management, as well as Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies in 2003.

My only question is, how does someone go from being a champion of domestic violence issues to an expert of women’s reproductive health issues?

I wonder how much she got paid, and by whom, to try to scam the Congress and the American taxpayer.

Follow the money!

I suspect Nancy Pelosi was somehow involved in this felonious testimony.

I’m sure that’s what she wants us to believe. I’m just playing the game: Ms. Struggling College Student can’t afford her pills and 3000 condoms a month.

Not sure which thread, but someone said they did a search, and there is a Sandra Fluke in D.C. living in a 474,000 dollar home. It would be nice to verify this.

Nobody pays 250 dollars a month for contraception.
When I heard she claimed she had spent $3000 in the past 3 years, I wondered what she was using.

That comes to less than one rubber/week.

By engaging in lots of first hand study and practice, as evidenced by having burned through $3,000 worth of BC in 3 years.

Another point I haven’t seen mentioned is about this sob-story she related about a gay woman who had an ovarian cyst, and was supposed to take birth control pills to control it, but “couldn’t afford them” (I think she said $100 per month) so stopped taking the pills, and ended up having emergency surgery. The sob-story part was the gay woman’s complaint that this would cause infertility and how could she give her mother the precious grandbabies she was hoping for so much. But earlier in the story it had said this woman was gay, so isn’t it unlikely she would give her mother any grandbabies anyway? And another thing that always bugs me, is the uncontested assumption that if insurance doesn’t cover a treatment, the patient can’t have it. Baloney, they can buy it themselves! People take loans out to go to Disneyworld or remodel their kitchens, why not for medical treatment?

The *real* question, btw, is :

Why isn't her *boyfriend* paying for the contraceptive?

He's the one c**ing inside her, not me.

Oh, she's sleeping around? #OccupySandra

Cheers!

She has a bachelors degree in gender studies and has worked for a lesbian Gay task force.

She clearly did not get a degree in biology. Lesbians don’t need contraception.

Her dossier does not surprise me. Wonder if she will start a defamation case against Rush. Could be her ticket to a bigger house.

She has a bachelors degree in gender studies>>>>>>

What do you do with a bs degree in gender studies? You figure out some way to get onto the public payroll and have liberal foundations give you grants.

Hang out in an Occupy camp.

Whine and create lawsuits.

Be a political operative.

Be a social parasite for the rest of your useless life.
