But, she talked about six select women. One of them was a woman who was raped and, in Fluke's words, didn't seek medical care:
"even to be examined or tested for sexually transmitted infections because she thought insurance wasnt going to cover something like that, something that was related to a womans reproductive health."
Laughable, right? The woman's problem wasn't that she didn't have contraception paid for by Georgetown; the woman's problem was that she was stupid. Contraception doesn't fix stupid.
Rush could have had a field day with that.
But he didn't. He went on and on about how much sex Fluke claimed she was having - three guys a night, and so on, when Fluke never mentioned her own sex life or use of contraception.
And Fluke said a married coed at Georgetown couldn't afford prescription contraception. We know, and Rush could have told the world, that it's available for $9 to $15 a month, generic. But Rush said that Fluke was buying condoms in the sixth grade, and that she was a prostitute.
And Fluke claimed that a woman had a medical condition and her doctors prescribed a contraceptive to treat it, but the evil insurance company personally interviewed the woman and decided that she wanted to have sex, and that was the reason for the contraceptive, so they denied coverage.
Can you imagine El-Rushmo riffing on that? It would be hilarious. But he didn't. He talking about how Fluke was base and immoral to be telling the world she was having sex with so many men.
Rush completely missed the mark twice. Fluke threw him softballs. He didn't even swing at them. And then he made up all of these things she supposedly said about her own sex life, and called her a slut as a result, when she never mentioned her sex life, the cost of her own contraceptives, or whether she was even on or needed contraception.
Does that make sense?
I agree. I love Rush, been listening for 20 years but he really struck out on the Fluke. The only real issue was that some women who need the pill for medical reasons were having problems getting them, therefore we should make a Catholic institution provide them no questions asked and to hell with their religious convictions. Rush should have hit this one out of the park instead he wiffed totally. He didn’t do his homework...
has there been any proof one way or the other regarding if certain BC will be covered by GTown for those women who medically need it and have their Dr’s OK?
