[SuziQ]

In the media lately, conservative Catholic organizations have been asking: what did we expect when we enrolled at a Catholic school? We can only answer that we expected women to be treated equally, to not have our school create untenable burdens that impede our academic success. We expected that our schools would live up to the Jesuit creed of cura personalis, to care for the whole person, by meeting all of our medical needs.

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.

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?
