Fluke: Birth Control Can Save the Economy!

In reaction to Mike Huckabee's speech at the Republican National Committee winter meeting Wednesday, contraception advocate Sandra Fluke teamed with Planned Parenthood to offer her insights on how birth control helps women prevent one of life's biggest economic burdens -- children.

Fluke has a message for Huckabee and other "for-profit corporations" who want to deny their employees access to birth control:

Women who use birth control do not have an “overactive libido.” We are not looking for a handout from “Uncle Sugar” to score a contraceptive fix. We are not sluts.
We are just regular people trying to take care of ourselves medically and financially.

Not only does Fluke believe that birth control helps women financially, but mentally as well:

Birth control is vitally important to women’s physical and mental health, since it enables them to plan their pregnancies and manage their lives, expanding their opportunities.

And it can single-handedly fix the nation's economic woes:

Access to birth control is not just a health issue; it’s an economic issue. When women can control their lives with birth control, they can help the economy. It allows them to take better care of themselves and their families, support themselves financially, complete their education, and keep or get a job.

Slyly, the term "birth control" is now being used as a euphemism for abortion. For Fluke, and other leftist feminists like her, a pesky fetus is an avoidable "health issue" that can be cured by using birth control or even emergency contraception, which is essentially a high dose of "birth control."

In doing so, women's mental health can be improved, women can finally get a job or finish school, finally manage their lives, expand their opportunities and most importantly, impact the United States economy. Oh, but they'll need the government to provide all that birth control. Whatever did they do before it was all free?

Women who use birth control do not have an “overactive libido.”

Women who use birth control pills have a suppressed libido, since the hormones (often) prevent ovulation and mimic pregnancy. (Spend some time on Free Republic. You'll find every man there never has sex.)

We are not looking for a handout from “Uncle Sugar” to score a contraceptive fix.

Right, you just want Uncle Sugar to force your employer or educational institution to give you the contraceptive "fix."

We are not sluts.

That's probably true in most cases. However, whether it's a married woman or a promiscuous college student, there's no reason she can't pay cash, or her regular prescription copayment if her employer chooses to provide this coverage.

are we STILL being “treated” to any inanity this totally unaccomplished (except for her sex life) woman blurts out?

why doesn’t the mass media investigate who we have in the white house, or boner, or justice roberts, or reid, or pelosi....? that’s their d***ed job as the 4th estate!

but no, all they give us is whatever stupid garbage spews forth from this wench’s oriface, or Chris Matthew’s, or Mooshell’s, or Michael Moore’s.....or Abbas’s, or ???

it is not helpful. it is not informative. it is not even entertaining most the time...
