Fluke says she would have used the hearing to talk about the students at Georgetown that don’t have birth control covered, and what that’s meant for them. “I wanted to be able to share their stories,” she says. “My testimony would have been about women who have been affected by their policy, who have medical needs and have suffered dire consequences.. . .The committee did not get to hear real stories I had to share, about actual women who have been dramatically affected by this policy.”
I asked Fluke what she’s learned about reproductive health politics over the past few months, as the nation has debated the role of contraceptives coverage in health reform. “Sadly, I think what I have learned is how willing some members of our government are to play political football with women’s health,” she says. “That has been heartbreaking to watch.
Fluke plans to continue working on the issue to ensure that the health reform regulations do eventually require Georgetown University to provide birth control to its students. SheÂ’s keeping an eye both on the accommodations the White House rolled out last month, as well as a separate regulation on student health plans now being reviewed by the Office of Budget and Management. ThatÂ’s the regulation that will determine whether the no-copay birth control provisions also apply to student health plans.
More proof she chose Georgetown with the express intent of trying to get their policy overturned....
This liberal feminist sludge thinks a G spot is the government spotting her a mandate for free happy pills.
If she's so deeply concerned about her health it seems as if abstinence would be a logical decision.
What in He11 is going on with this bitch?
WallyWorld, Target and possibly CVS sell 30 days worth of birth control pills for $9.
Rush just apologized per twitter

How many years for law school?
I didn’t know colleges give health insurance to students. Hell, if that’s the case, why don’t we all enroll in college on government grants and we’ll all be covered.
Then why did she and these other women go to Georgetown lawschool? Go somewhere else if you don’t like their policy. No one forces you to choose that school. So now she’s testifying to have the GOVERNMENT force this school to doing something contrary to its own values?
I can understand why people would have been upset at Rush’s choice of words...when I first heard him say that I thought it was over the top and knew what was probably going to be coming. That said, why are people so upset over that vs. the complete nonsense Fluke is going around saying? That’s offensive as well. She should be embarrassed.
More proof that it would be near impossible for anyone to be a Christian and a Democrat. Or an American Patriot and a Democrat for that matter. Like the Communist Party of old the Democratic Party USA has sold its soul to Satan in their lust for political power. A people that kills their babies has no future.
Beer and weed have a lot to do with getting laid, do we have buy those for college students, too?
This whole thing is such a joke. Believe, chicks that party at college never have to pay for anything. If a girl at a party says off-handedly, “I need another beer,” there will be four guys fighting each other to the fridge to get her one.
As for contraception, all a college girl has to say to the guy is, “You wanna get laid? Bring me XYZ, it has to have this and that feature, Brand A is preferred.” To get laid, a guy will bring her a case of them. He’ll rob a liquor store if he has to.

“probing whether the provision violates religious liberties”
Where are the republicans? The question isn’t whether this violates religious liberties, the questions is under what authority does the federal government claim the right to mandate this for anyone? I get so frustrated that the Repubs don’t fight for the right principals and let the Dems frame the debate.
If I have to buy Sandra a condom then she’s going to have to Fluke me.
Fluke is concerned about having her habit paid for by others. The University President should have told her “Abstinance is free”.
