She’s insisting that the prescriptions be paid in total, not just subsidized with a co-pay.
Her examples of those requiring it are full of “not as birth control” cases.
So why should this one type of medicine require no co-pay?
Why not heart medications and diabetes medications as well?
Once the gravy train leaves the station, it should make ALL the stops.
The media quite regularly attacks Rush Limbaugh and other talk show hosts for things they say ERRONEOUSLY based on redacted transcripts circulated by Media Matters.
I’ve never once heard any of the maligned hosts get an apology.
And some of the cases had the hosts reading a passage SOMEONE ELSE WROTE and then refuting the position he just read out loud. The false attribute to the host is deliberate when it happens.
But the media don’t make no mistakes. Not that they will admit to, anyway...
She used the collectivist “we”.
Sandra Fluke is a nobody. She is unqualified. She is a poser. She is only looking to promote herself. She has little if anything in the way of skills or talent. Basically, she is Obama with a vagina.
Fluke ‘er!
Once the gravy train leaves the station, it should make ALL the stops.
Free Viagra for everyone! WOOHOO!
That's exactly right. The bc pill first, then how long til abortion follows?
Exactly. Or what of those that require brand over generic and carriers don’t cover brand? There is so much more behind her ‘good intentions’.
That poor lesbo will never have a baby.
How Tragic
Was this “sworn” testimony?
That might be the case, but it is irrelevant to the issue. ANY gynecologist, in ANY practice can write a prescription for birth control pills, and they are dispensed in pharmacies across the country, some even 24 hours a day, so she and her friends can get them anytime they want. There is no hardship for them.
I read in one article that she chose to attend Georgetown SPECIFICALLY to stir up this issue. This tells me that preparation for the media blitz about this has been in the works for quite a while. So all the conservative comments, and the Catholic Church's response about it are already behind the 8 ball on the issue.
He will survive it. If not then this country is doomed because it means there is more extreme leftists than normal human beings. I still stand by my assertion that she deserved to be called a slut and worse. $3000 bucks in rubbers she is demanding from the taxpayers? I’m 50 years old, had 4 girlfriends before I married my wife. I don’t think I have EVER paid more than $500 when it came to sex and protection with ALL of them. If she wasn’t talking about herself, then she was supporting the slut lifestyle which made her a slut by default and Rush never should have apologized.
You cannot show any quarter with these libs, they are pigs, hellbent on destruction, and if they protest, then protest back 1000 fold. Rush has more than enough money to last 100 lifetimes. WTF is he doing bowing down to this slut who BTW is proving to be a fraud the more I read about her?
Pardon me for maybe asking a stupid question or one that has been answered. Does Georgetown u provide insurance to their students? Is this common in universities today? It wasn’t in any of the 3 colleges I attended. I may be out of the loop, but is this a new thing? Why don’t colleges/law schools just drop it. Just don’t cover any students. That’s an easy fix, no? I would do that before I would give in to any of these mooching liberals.
I like the excerpt you posted from Ms. Fluke’s testimony. She wants equal treatment to males. Well, they don’t have contraceptive coverage either. And I bet that she could go to the doctor and receive treatment for illnesses. She would have to pay afterwards like everybody else. Law school doesn’t last forever. As for the PCOS friend, I have a hard time believing that an insurance company would deny coverage for treatment. A PCOS diagnosis comes via testing and usually involves a previous ruptured cyst and evidence that there are other cysts. A doctor’s word is backed up with evidence. Where is the lawsuit?
Many private Christian schools (k-12) have pre marital sex listed, among drug use, etc, as terms for dismissal. A certain behavior is expected by the student body. Do private universities not hold similar standards? At least this school, if it did, could simply dismiss her for publicly admitting her pre marital relations.

I believe it is the same as the abortion decision in 1973. There were moves behind the scenes for years to usher cases through the courts to get it to the Supremes where sympathetic judges were waiting to overturn abortion laws, and the media was ready to tout the victory for women.
I believe that the Democrat party, along with its public policy groups, and their media allies, have been working on this for a few months. They needed an issue that would take the voters' focus off the sorry economic state of the country. When HHS made public the decision against religious organizations, and the Bishops pushed back against it, because they had been told the mandate wouldn't apply to religious organizations, the media was ready to attack.
The MSM had already started going after Republicans, because of the pro-life stands of the Presidential candidates, and especially Santorum and Newt, because they're Catholic. I'm sure the Republicans were confused as to why they were even being asked about this, because none of them has ever demanded that birth control not be available. They were not prepared for the attacks that have come, and are definitely trying to play catch up on this issue.
