By now everyone has heard of poor lil’ Sandra Fluke. A 30 year old feminist activist posing as some lowly coed who can’t afford contraception and is saddened to see the looks of woman frazzled with sunken eyes, and long faces, tortured by the very thoughts that they may not be able to get laid 2.7 times that day due to lack of funds for contraceptives.
Sorry, I do not feel your pain Ms. Fluke. Yes I am a guy. So I know in your mind that should prevent me from having any opinion on the matter. To that I say Fluke You and the concocted little controversy you road in on. I am a married man with a daughter. So I do have some skin in the game. Our daughter finally arrived after four long hard invitro cycles, something the Catholic Church does not believe in. We did not hold it against the church, nor would we demand they should pay and execute the procedure. It’s called tolerance for ones views and not imposing your needs against another’s ideals. Maybe a little reflection is in order, if you can somehow manage to find the time.
See Sandra, back in the day, when apparently men and woman were more resourceful we didn’t rely on anyone to pay for our contraceptives. Woman tried to hide the fact that they needed it. Every male over the age of 14 had a well-worn circular ring on the back of their leather wallet. It was a sign of perpetual optimism. That can-do spirit and the Boy Scout willingness to always be prepared. If the stars aligned, you got to use that condom before it became unusable due to going past its expiration date. If we needed another one, 4 quarters in the nearest gas station bathroom got you resupplied and French Tickler for you and your buddies to marvel at. Here you are claiming to need a thousand dollars yearly of other people’s money so that you can get your groove on. How about this, why don’t you charge admission of one condom per visit. Any young man with a reasonable sex drive of a male aged 18-50 should be more than willing to pay the freight. Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy right?
No its not is it? Your little crusade at Georgetown University has nothing to do with your worries for your fellow female comrades. It’s all about a selfish little cause.

Nancy Pelosi’s initiative to convince Sandra Fluke to testify to contraception as a health care necessity is simply wrong. Colleges and universities provide limited accidental injury/major medical insurance, but not traditional employee health coverage for students. Students are generally young and not subject to the myriad diseases confronting older people or families with children. Therefore not only contraceptives, but many medical procedures and drugs are not included. Since sexual intercourse is an optional, and not a required activity of law school students, contraceptives should not be among policy provisions.
Ms. Fluke’s testimony connotes that at least 40% of the women in law school consider sexual intercourse a compelling or preferred recreational activity. Therefore, the proper place to make her case is with the Georgetown University Student Association. The university encourages students to actively engage in more than 200 co-curricular clubs and activities. She testified to what would be more accurately described as a club sport or performing art, than as a health care necessity.
The analogy should not be considered facetious, but should awaken people to the limits of targeted, low cost insurance programs.
By the way I estimated the cost of a three year law school education at Georgetown. Their website says tuition is $46,865 per year. However, surviving the household expenses in the D.C. area would easily push the total over $200,000. This means $3,000 is 1.5% or less of expense. Such a minimal fluctuation in a three year budget should not register even at the margin with a normal person.

She said all her friends at Georgetown were a bunch of sluts who couldn't afford contraceptives and might get pregnant.
This looks like a man to me.
She's the very mouthpiece of BIG SEX
“Nancy Pelosi’s initiative to convince Sandra Fluke to testify to contraception as a health care necessity is simply wrong”
It wasn’t wrong politically. I’d say rather brilliant news war strategy, if it we conservatives weren’t so good at walking into obvious traps. And painfully obvious it was. The second I heard her talking on Shrewfest (+one hot chick)—err, The View—I knew she was an activist hack. She screams agitprop. Man, we’re stupid.
“40% of the women in law school consider sexual intercourse a compelling or preferred recreational activity”
I’ll bet 99% of men consider video games and beer drinking preferred recreational activities. Does that mean other people have to pay for thumb callus treatment and hair of the dog?
She looks like a person that Rachel Maddow would like to kick back and have a beer with.
hAHAHA and BTTT
Put a little Obama circle between the K and Y and it’s complete... Just a suggestion
