I challenge the investigative reporters: get out there and find out who this woman is. We the public need to know. Where did she go to college, and how did she finance her undergraduate education? Where does she live and how much is her apartment rental per month? How does she come up with the money to do her hair? Buy her clothes? Drive her car? Does she take vacations? If so to where, and how paid for? I would bet that she has more than enough personal funds with which to purchase $9 worth of contraceptives a month. Forego a couple of lattes for heaven’s sake. This young woman is attractive, well-dressed, and well-groomed. None of that comes cheap in this day and time. She is also attending an expensive law school. The idea that she is too poor to do this and therefore needs help for something this inexpensive is just not believable.
Wishful thinking. This girl is now the MEDIA's HERO. The MSM is more likely to give her A JOB rather than report anything negative that reduces her effectiveness as a tool of their liberal agenda. Now if her name was Joe The Plumber.....COMPLETELY different story.
The media are scum.
Are we at all surprised? Democrats presented another sham to take the heat off the more important issues facing the country that Obama has no ability in solving. So they resort to having him play the role of the concerned community organizer out to help people...make him offer some contraversial mandate...and watch the fur fly! In the wings is a 30-year old activist who they trot out and want the country to believe she is a college student who is fighting forthe right for women to have protected sex paid for by the government. Not just a sham...these people presented a SCAM.
Fluke claimed the cost to be $1,000/yr (she said $3,000 over a 3-yr period is what the college girls had claimed). Still...$1,000/yr is outrageous. A woman can get a month's supply of "the pill" at WalMart for $9.00. Condoms are available most everywhere for $10/box of 10. The only way to spend $1,000/month for even the combination of these two is: $108/year for the pill (only one pill per day is needed in any month) and $900/year for condoms. That's a whole lotta sex in one year!
And...one would think that a feminist would expect that the guy in her relationship to pay at least half of the cost. If women can't get a man to buy condoms, they shouldn't be in bed with them because the real health concern is STD's.
This gal should be arguing for men to share the cost....not taxpayers or insurance companies. But maybe she tried that and no men would buy...so she runs to Big Daddy Government!
If a 30-year old woman with a law degree can't convince a man to pay at least half of the cost of contraceptives then she's not a very good lawyer! LOL
