Georgetown co-ed: Please pay for us to have sex … We’re going broke buying birth control

[gilliam]

At a hearing of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee yesterday, a single witness — Georgetown law student and “reproductive rights activist” Sandra Fluke — told sympathetic policy-makers that the administration’s so-called contraception mandate should stand … because her peers are going broke buying birth control.

“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception),” Fluke reported.
It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.
“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,” Fluke told the hearing.

Craig Bannister at CNSNews.com did the math — and discovered that these co-eds, assuming they’re using the cheapest possible contraception, must be having unprotected sex about three times a day every day to incur that kind of expense. What Fluke is arguing, then, is that her fellow law students have a right to consequence-free sex whenever, wherever. Why, exactly, especially if it costs other people something? When I can’t pay for something, I do without it. Fortunately, the case of contraception, women can make lifestyle choices that render it unnecessary.

At least they're willing to use some sort of birth control. I know of a local attorney who represents welfare cases, and he has a client, on welfare, that has 25 children, from several woman, and the client is on Viagra.

Now that would be a great reality show---where are the producers to put in on TV?

Guess it's better entertainment to watch a truly Christian family like the Duggars who are having children after a marriage and one father who is supporting them all with what he makes from working and not on welfare. Then they can get criticised and put down by all that watch.

We probably have seen some of the characters on TV, but only some, and only part of the story, because certain people, the kind that favor socialism, don't like truth. Those 25 kids are probably part of that story about 2.8 million starving kids. They want to tell you they are starving, but not why.

But that's what's wrong with the kind of rampant immorality this Georgetown co-ed practices. It keeps getting worse, not better.

I can't understand why this woman is crying that it is costing her 3k per year in bc. Honestly...she can just go down to the local planned parenthood/family planning clinic to get some for free.

I get drugs at Target. Some are $10 for a 90 day supply, one is $15 for 90, some are cheaper that I use occasional, but I did a quick websearch, and it looks like they do BC, and I already know that Target has no strings attached. You don't need insurance, or proof of income. $10 for anyone. That's a lot cheaper than this co-ed claims.

And then, there's the ones I get completely free from the manufacturers.

But we want Obama to have dominion of life and death over faithful Catholics.

I would rather my teenagers not have sex at all. I also would rather my teenager not use contraception. If they falter and a pregnancy occurs, they will deal with the consequences by either raising the child or giving the child up for adoption. Encouraging sin because sin may occur is not acceptable.

Are you trying to suggest that it's better to aggravate the sin of fornication by adding an extra sin of contraception as well?

I get it. It's kind of like robbing a bank, and the gun goes off, and the teller gets killed. The robber should at least have the decency to drop the bag of money, and not commit robbery, on top of what he's just done.

Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law student who testified before a congressional hearing in which she talked about the burden of paying for contraception out of pocket, has issued a response to those who would call her a "slut" and a "prostitute".

For the past several days, Rush Limbaugh has been attacking her on his radio show, calling Ms. Fluke a “slut” and suggested that she — and her female classmates — post videos of themselves having sex while on birth control to make it worth people’s money.

Ms. Fluke responded to this with the following statement:

"I thank the thousands of women and men, including members of Congress, Georgetown University students and faculty, and total strangers of all political stripes across the country who have offered kind words and support following recent egregious personal attacks.

"We are fortunate to live in a democracy where everyone is entitled to their own opinions regarding legitimate policy differences. Unfortunately, numerous commentators have gone far beyond the acceptable bounds of civil discourse.

"No woman deserves to be disrespected in this manner. This language is an attack on all women, and has been used throughout history to silence our voices.

"The millions of American women who have and will continue to speak out in support of women's health care and access to contraception prove that we will not be silenced."

As the target of all these attacks and discussions, it is only fair that her voice should be present in this debate as well.

I guess some people have no shame.
