She also testified that a woman at Georgetown who was raped refused medical care because she "thought" that it might not be covered and she would be responsible for the bill.
I was disgusted by what I saw of her testimony because she changed the subject from contraceptives to all sorts of actual medical issues. As to the ovarian cysts. How did they treat them before birth control pills? IS this possibly the only medicinal approach?
BUT...
I check out progressive radio to hear the other side of most arguments when I can. Today, Randi Rhodes said that at Georgetown, students must participate in the insurance program and it does not cover contraceptives. However, the same insurance program used by G'town employees does cover their contraception. If this is true, I think it changes the debate changes a bit. It seems to alter the veracity of G'town resisting the Obama proposal on religious grounds.
As with any news that is being filtered by two opposing sides of media, we probably don't know all the facts. But, on thing is for sure. Obama has snared a monster slice of women's vote with this hyped up story and Rush may have played a part in their success. It fits the Alinsky rule perfectly. They have found a demon.

Georgetown students are automatically enrolled in their health insurance - there is an easy way to waive it - show proof that you have comparable insurance from another source and the fee is waived.

It’s a healthcare mandate - like RomneyCare and ObamaCare - you can’t opt out of carrying health insurance as a student but you CAN opt out of the Georgetown insurance.

Yeah, much better to be raped and dodge a check-up for STD’s or pregnancy and save $150, than to carry an HIV infected baby in your body.
Stupid is what stupid does! And they’re post graduate law students?????
