Meet law student and feminist hero Sandra Fluke

Meet law student and feminist hero Sandra Fluke 6:24 PM 03/03/2012

The country knows Sandra Fluke as the beleaguered third-year Georgetown University Law Center student who has been criticized by conservatives — notably radio giant Rush Limbaugh — for her recent testimony about co-eds’ contraceptive needs before Congressional Democrats.

But the 30-year-old student who stirred the debate is no novice to the political arena. Fluke has a long history of feminist advocacy: The Washington Post reported Fluke entered Georgetown Law well aware that the school’s insurance plan did not cover contraception, only to spend the next three years lobbying the school to change its policy.

Fluke attended Cornell University from 1999-2003, where she received a B.S. in Policy Analysis & Management and Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies.

While at Cornell, Fluke’s organized actives centered around the far-left feminist and gender equity movements. Fluke participated in rallies supporting abortion, protests against war in Iraq and efforts to recruit other womens’ rights activists to campus.

During that period, she gained experience engaging in disputes concerning abortion with religious organizations.

“We feel that the information [Cornell Coalition for Life] has out is reactionary and it’s not based on giving people information about their choices, but manipulating their emotions,” Fluke, then the treasurer of Students Acting for Gender Equality (SAGE), told The Cornell Daily Sun during a protest of a pro-life display at the school’s Ho Plaza. “We want to show people they should have a choice about a decision this important and whatever choice they make, we’ll support it,” she said.

After college, Fluke put on her career-woman hat and worked at Vintage New York for nine months before settling in at the Sanctuary for Families in New York City, where she stayed until she began law school in 2009.

Did he apologize on Friday? That was the only day I didn’t hear him last week.

America is falling apart because the self-proclaimed Conservatives like you (PM) are becoming silly little babies.

Gee. "Useful idiot". "Silly little babies".

Sure is a lot of name calling on here by the Limbaugh shills.

I guess if I were to whine and moan about it enough, you two would fold like a cheap suit and apologize... just like El Rushbo.

But it is honestly not that important to me.

Rush apologized, “Unless you wanna be like Breitbart you better apologize”. Watch for the seize of power from Obama. It’s coming.

It was a perfect set-up by the Dimwits. Who called her is a good question. Nonetheless. it was a sucker-punch and we took it.

What single woman gets on national TV, addressing Congress, and tells the world she is sexually active but can’t afford the pill. Then she says it just ain’t right that the gubment does not pay for her to have sex.

The girl is a moron and her parents must be hiding their head in shame. Rush is exactly right. She exposed herself for being nothing in the world but a slut.

“Slut or slattern is a term applied to an individual who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous”

The real question is why can’t she afford birth control. If she is having as much sex as she testified to she should have little or no expenditures for lunches and dinners so she should be saving up some money. The other really good question is who the Hell would want to have sex with her she looks kind of manly to me.

No thanks! I don’t want to meet her, and I don’t want to subsidize her sex.

Sounds like she did some good things before perjuring herself to Congress.

He apologized. But read what he wrote carefully.

Why? Will his critics?

Rush sold the horse he rode in on today.
