This is more serious than her or any one person's sex life. They are trying to force religious groups to cover birth control against their beliefs.
She misrepresented a lot of things in her testimony and she should be taken to task for it and while Rush should do it, he may find his hands tied at this point and not be able to do it without looking like he is still attacking her.
She misrepresented the woman that might have endometriosis. Sure, surgery is the only way to confirm, but, no Dr should just write prescriptions for unconfirmed diagnosis. The insurance would cover the surgery, so why wasn't the surgery done to get that confirmation?
Her testimony is full of smoke and mirrors. She claims near the end that it isn't a war against the church, but how many times does she mention church, jesuits, or religion?
Rush or someone needs to get a good OB/GYN to go over the testimony with a fine tooth comb and take it apart.
Excellent Post!
Aren't they? Are men allowed to get the pill paid for in their coverage?
Without her taking the birth control, a massive cyst the size of a tennis ball had grown on her ovary. She had to have surgery to remove her entire ovary.
So, now her problem is solved. No worries for a gay woman.
Ahhh... the slut speaks.

Man, the Society of Jesus, such as it has become, really went south. It’s neither authentically Catholic nor biblical now.
Can this be verified? I am reading all kinds of things that she graduated in 2003 and is a 31 y.o. lawyer. I'm waiting for Coulters column this week who I have absolutely no doubt will eviscerate her.
She specifically targeted a Catholic school for her victim status. This activist did not just suddenly rise up to challenge Catholicism's opposition to birth control. She's been a "reproductive rights" advocate for YEARS.
She is ALL ABOUT the conflicts with religious identity.
Actions speak louder than words. She is ALL ABOUT the conflicts with religious identity.
“...and I’m a third year student at Georgetown Law, a Jesuit school”
And she wants the heavy hand of government to force said Jesuit school to do something against its institutional conscience.
This has morphed into a ‘women’s rights’ issue...when it should be a freedom of religion issue.
And somehow the dialogue has become ‘the Republicans are trying to take away a woman’s rights’....when it really should be ‘the catholic church is defending itself’. And make no mistake, the catholic church is not a part of the vast rw conspiracy. It can be very liberal - and it is having a disagreement with liberals.
How did the GOP end up on the defensive on this?
A lesbian who is worried about not being able to give birth to babies to please her mother?
She could always ADOPT since she chose to take HERSELF out of the gene pool.
You know screw (pardon the pun) Rush for apologising. Read her statement:
$3000 bucks for getting laid? How many times are we talking about here to reach $3000 bucks? The woman IS a slut!
My corner pharmacy sells condoms a buck each, how long is law school? 3 or 4 years? Do the math here people.
365 days a year...4 years doing it once a day would equal $1460. Divide $3000 by that...2.05 times a day EVERY day for four years! When I lived in the lower east side of Manhattan in the 1980s I knew HOOKERS who didn't do nearly that much! They would work 3 or 4 johns a week, once each, unless they were crack whores and would do enough to buy crack. RUSH WAS RIGHT! WHY DID HE APOLOGIZE?
“when she was raped, she didn’t go to the doctor even to be examined or tested for sexually transmitted infections because she thought insurance wasn’t going to cover something like that,”
Sounds like BS.
Fluke woke up one day to realize that Free Love ain’t free!
Perhaps you think my friend’s tragic story is rare. It’s not. One woman told us doctors believe she has endometriosis, but it can’t be proven without surgery, so the insurance hasn’t been willing to cover her medication. Recently, another friend of mine told me that she also has polycystic ovarian syndrome. She’s struggling to pay for her medication and is terrified to not have access to it. Due to the barriers erected by Georgetown’s policy, she hasn’t been reimbursed for her medication since last August. I sincerely pray that we don’t have to wait until she loses an ovary or is diagnosed with cancer before her needs and the needs of all of these women are taken seriously.
If she thinks life is bad when you elect to attend a religious school and challenge the belief system, just wait until the Gub'mint is the ONLY provider of health care (as Hillarycare advocated, you will NOT be able to pay cash, that would create a two-tiered system).
We are already seeing the penny pinchers tell us to STOP all of this cancer screening, "you just gonna die anyhow!"
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Lesbian Catholic womyn who considered birth control to be a sacrament.
Ms. Fluke-U did NOT testify before a congressional committee.
REPEAT.....Ms. Fluke-U did NOT testify before a congressional committee.
Cong. Issa refused her request to testify on the grounds she was NOT QUALIFIED to discuss the issue before the committee.
THE "HEARING" and her "TESTIMONY" was and is an elaborate hoax. It was leftist street theater....set up in some other location and mimicing a real hearing. It was perpetrated by Democrat activists and "actors" who were aided and abetted by Nancy Pelousy. Ms. Fluke-U was the star.
IT WAS A MOCK CONGRESSIONAL HEARING!
Folks are falling for this left and right.
To paraphrase a well-known verse......"Be not deceived, God and the American public will not be mocked; for whatever the deceitful Left sows, that it will also reap."

We know the $3000 cost is phoney.
We know that no one at Georgetown is struggling.
Who is supporting Ms. Fluke.
Was that really her borned name??
This woman is truly despicable. Imagine the outrage if someone managed to get themselves admitted to a Muslim or Jewish institution and then publicly and purposely went forth to ridicule, demean and scorn the principles upon which the school was built. Yet this woman considers herself some sort of persecuted hero. Just why would she choose a “Catholic, Jesuit” school? Of course one could argue that Georgetown has declined into something that should not be confused with being Catholic. (anybody read the brilliant law briefs being prepared by the Georgetown faculty challenging Obama’s Catholic bashing mandate?) If the Jesuits themselves truly were defenders of the faith (as they once were) and had not devolved into an unmentionable lot, they would at least expel this opportunistic rogue.
You get raped and don't report it?? I thought Georgetown only took the smart kids.
Her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to prevent pregnancy. .......After months of paying over $100 out of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore and had to stop taking it.
Names - give us the names!
At least report it to the Better Business Bureau - jeepers.
