Fluke: Birth Control Can Save the Economy!
Truth Revolt ^ | 1/25/2014 | Trey Sanchez

Posted on 01/25/2014 3:43:36 PM PST by markomalley

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?

Sandra Fluke’s sperm donor aka “boyfriend”....

Adam Mutterperl is the son of one of the most well-connected leftist Jewish families on the East Coast, with ties to neo-Marxist Brandeis University as decades old donors… and whose father, Bill Mutterperl, worked directly for Paul Volcker, one of Obama’s pals, advisors, and Keynesian “stimulus” bill architects.

In addition to the Mutterperl’s extensive history within the Jewish socialist activist/political world, and their generational wealth, they’re still doing what they can to help the 99%.

Fluke was being represented by Anita Dunn’s public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker. Dunn, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, served as White House Communications Director in 2009..

http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/10/o’reilly-sandra-flukes-boyfriend-son-of-democratic-stalwart-william-mutterperl/

“For six days, we have been telling you that the 30-year-old Georgetown law student has become a major player in the presidential election,” O’Reilly said during his “Talking Points Memo” segment. “Last night, we reported that she is now being handled pro bono, for free, by the PR firm SKDKnickerbocker, which is good, because Sandra doesn’t have enough money to buy birth control pills, as we know. But there is more to Sandra’s story than just contraception. Right now, she’s on spring break in California with her boyfriend, who is the son of Democratic stalwart William Mutterperl. He has made at least 56 donations to Democratic candidates or organizations. Nothing wrong with that — I’m just pointing it out.”

O’Reilly then questioned whether Fluke was receiving some sort of backing in exchange for her advocacy. Despite claiming that it is financially taxing for her to afford contraception, Fluke is somehow able to travel across the country and make numerous media appearances.

O’Reilly also noted the timing of Fluke’s rise. The law student came on the scene right when the Obama administration was being criticized for a controversial contraceptive mandate requiring some religious institutions to supply contraception against their will.

“Of course, that’s when Sandra Fluke suddenly appeared — popping up at congressional hearings, showing up in the media,” he said. “Polls show President Obama’s poll numbers among women now on the rise, and he has Ms. Fluke to thank [for] that. If you don’t pay close attention to this story, it looks like President Obama is simply helping out a young woman under siege, but again, that’s not what’s going on here.”

O’Reilly blamed progressives like Fluke for pushing for a “nanny state” and causing the national debt to rise.

Oh, how this woman brings a mix of pity and contempt. I’ll bet her father is one messed up dude.

I would stop short of blaming it on her flesh father. Her real father is satan obviously. She has the free will to decide who she follows and she will pay the penalty if she does not choose the right Father. It is written.

Then do it without the help of taxpayers.

If her boyfriend could find something big to stuff down her throat it would both save us taxpayers a ton of money paying for this nympho’s birth control.. And save us all from having to hear her stupid commentaries on public affairs. Or something like that. Sometimes an imaginative action can go a lonnnnng ways.

Cool, Mrs. Redangus called this this morning. We were discussing the topic of abortion and birth control and how the Left would use them this election cycle. She actually said and I quote, “You know the left is going to turn the whole birth control issue into an economic inequality issue in 2014.” I of coursed agreed with her as any good husband does when confronted with such blindly astute insight, but I never guessed she would have her beliefs validated this quickly.

The Rev. Richard Fluke, Sandra’s father, is a machinist & part-time licensed local pastor who shares the pulpit at Tatesville United Methodist Church in Everett, Pa., with two other pastors

Sandra’s father, Rev. Richard Fluke, is a pastor at Tatesville United Methodist Church. He says: “We were excited that she would be able to share the very compelling stories of her friends who need contraception for medical purposes.”

*********

Since Kate won’t tell it, here’s the rest of the story about Fluke’s farcical complaint. The Democrats submitted two requests for witnesses: Fluke and Americans United for Separation of Church and State head Rev. Barry Lynn. The Republicans made the obvious choice to go with Lynn, the guy with actual credentials pertaining to the hearing’s subject (the contraception mandate’s impact on religious liberty) rather than the college student. Go figure!

Then, with the full backing of House Democrats and the mainstream media, the unqualified Fluke threw a hissy fit about being “silenced” and lied about women being shut out of a discussion about their health…conveniently ignoring the fact that two women did testify at the hearing’s second panel (since they disagreed with the Blessed Sandra, they apparently didn’t count as real women).

http://liveactionnews.org/sandra-fluke-up-for-times-increasingly-irrelevant-person-of-the-year-award/

Georgetown University policy already covers the medical-necessity cases she testified about (with her real complaint being over claims denials that aren’t a concern for the United States Congress), that she was a far-left agitator before discovering that Georgetown is eeevil, and – surprise! – she didn’t have much to say about, er, the religious liberty angle after all.

According to some reports, it was Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., who pushed for Fluke’s testimony. Maloney also initiated the call for Fluke to sue Rush Limbaugh for his on-air derogatory remark about Fluke, according to the Daily Beast.

Two kooks, Huckaphony and Hussyphony, arguing over nothing. The whole system is dysfunctional and these two morons are proof of it.

Sure create government brothels. The profits from government brothels could be huge and fund even more spending. Thousands of new sex worker jobs would be created and the manufacturers of condoms and birth control pills would have to expand to accommodate the new program. Trouble is that the government would be as incompetent in running whore houses as it is in running health care and the American people are already being screwed by their government.

When Fluke opened her Twitter account the VERY FIRST person she followed was MSNBC’s Rachael Maddow. Now that tells you something about Fluke. She’s a leftist activist, not some innocent little law student who just can’t afford birth control pills.

The SECOND person Fluke followed on Twitter was none other than Ed Schultz. Interesting, isn’t it? As soon as Fluke elected to follow Maddow, she then chose as No. 2 a man who referred to a female conservative talk show host as a “slut.” Sound familiar? Apparently Ms. Fluke is only outraged when a conservative calls a liberal a slut.

Sandra Fluke: Birth Control is Just Like a Blood Transfusion...or Something
Katie Pavlich | Nov 27, 2013

Infamous former Georgetown Law student and now social justice attorney Sandra Fluke is back in the news thanks to the Supreme Court agreeing to take up a case surrounding the employer contraception mandate in Obamacare. In case you need a reminder, Fluke is the woman who testified before Congress in 2012 about how birth control should be paid for by someone else because it can cost a female student “$3,000 during law school.”

Last night on MSNBC, Fluke argued that employers cannot be exempted from the contraception mandate in Obamacare because that would mean they could also opt. out of paying for insurance that covers blood transfusions.

This isn’t the first time Fluke has compared contraception to life saving medical procedures that have nothing to do with religious beliefs. She once said that companies opposing the contraception mandate in Obamacare on religious grounds is the same thing as opposing Leukemia coverage.
