A Nation of Sandra Flukes [Mark Steyn]
National Review ^ | 9/8/2012 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 09/08/2012 8:22:51 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

According to Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke, invited to address the Democratic convention and the nation, America faces a stark choice this November. “During this campaign, we’ve heard about two profoundly different futures that could await women in this country — and how one of those futures looks like an offensive, obsolete relic of our past,” she cautioned. “That future could become real.”

In one of those futures, women will be “shut out and silenced,” rape victims will be “victimized all over again,” pregnant women will “die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms,” and “access to birth control is controlled by people who will never use it.” If you’re wondering where all that is on your ballot form, just check the box marked “R.” (snip)...

Sandra Fluke is one of them. She completed her education a few weeks ago — at the age of 31, or Grade 25. Before going to Georgetown, she warmed up with a little light B.S. in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Cornell. She then studied law at one of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, where tuition costs 50 grand a year. The average starting salary for a Georgetown Law graduate is $160,000 per annum — first job, first paycheck.

So this is America’s best and brightest — or, at any rate, most expensively credentialed. Sandra Fluke has been blessed with a quarter-million dollars of elite education, and, on the evidence of Wednesday night, is entirely incapable of making a coherent argument. She has enjoyed the leisurely decade-long varsity once reserved for the minor sons of Mitteleuropean grand dukes, and she has concluded that the most urgent need facing the Brokest Nation in History is for someone else to pay for the contraception of 30-year-old children ...

Fluke is not the best and brightest. She is just another “julia” that wants women to be dependent on government for everything.

“access to birth control is controlled by people who will never use it.”

The argument using "women's right to choose" is naturally-endowed....keep your legs together and try being responsible for YOUR OWN CHOICES; don't FORCE OTHERS TO PAY FOR YOUR BEING A SLUT/TRAMP/TROLLOP/EASY-LAY/LOOSE/PARTY-GIRL.

In a sane world, there would not even be a “market” for Sandra Fluke's “education”. Of course, there really isn't. Whatever “job” she acquires will leach of producers.

With her claimed massive BC budget, I doubt she has any need for the K-Y anymore.

A middle-school girl is free to get an abortion without parental consent, but if she puts a lemonade stand on her lawn she’ll be fined. What a bleak and reductive concept of “personal freedom.”

I quoted Mark Steyn in a tagline some time back and couldn't fit attribution in.... so, where ever you are Mark Steyn - I'm sorry ... plus I used the same quote in comments. My bad...

Not necessarily crazy. More like lazy.

e.g. believe the first thing stated on TV. They don’t realize they are reading a
script. They actually think the broadcasters are holding a rational,
fact based, thoughtful discussion

Freebie oriented - I want mine now

You owe me , even though I didn’t work for it.
