Washington, D.C., October 30, 2012 (LifeSiteNews) Pro-contraception activist Sandra Fluke, on a speaking tour for Barack Obamas re-election campaign, continues to parrot the Obama administrations party line that children are one of the biggest roadblocks to womens success.
Equality, Fluke said in an October 15 interview with the Cornell Daily Sun, means the ability to control your reproduction so that that a career is a realistic goal and something that can be achieved and not derailed by a baby.
Fluke, the Georgetown law school student who stepped into the limelight earlier this year after she was blocked from testifying at a hearing on religious freedom and the Obama administrations HHS mandate, also said she does not believe she is entitled to contraception.
Instead, she said, I think the case is much more about what kind of society do we want to live in.
If we think about what contraception means for people, its not only about having access to the health care that you need, and the human rights aspects of having access to health care, but its also about what being able to control your own reproduction does for women specifically, but for men as well.
Fluke has been an ardent supporter of the Obama administrations plan to force all employers, including many religious employers, to pay for their employees birth control. She was widely ridiculed in the conservative press after testifying at a Democrat press conference that contraception costs thousands of dollars and poses a financial burden to law students such as herself. She later admitted that she didnt realize that contraceptives were available for $9 a month at Target, including the Target down the street from Georgetown.
The idea of babies as barriers to achievement is not a new one for the Obama team. Obama himself famously said during his 2008 campaign that if his daughters, then 9 and 6, made a mistake, he wouldnt want them punished with a baby.
Other administration officials have argued in court that contraception is vital to improving the health of women so that women who choose to do so can be part of the workforce on an equal playing field with men.
But according to conservative commentator George Will, the educated, career-oriented women Obamas campaign is targeting with his War on Women rhetoric are the ones most offended by it. Will said on ABCs This Week with George Stephanopoulos that the Obama campaigns fixation on abortion and contraceptive access has provoked a backlash from educated women because it implies they only care about personal, sexual issues, not critical national issues like the struggling economy and complicated foreign relations.
There has been a big change its not a particular state, said Will. Its the change in Romneys gain among women, and that I think represents a huge recoil by professional women with college degrees against the condensation of the Obama campaign which says, essentially, dont you trouble your pretty little heads about these mens issues and all the rest. Worry about contraception, which has been a constitutional right for 47 years.
Its a distraction, Will added, the entire war on women trope, and I think professional educated women find it offensive.
If she knows about success, why is she still in college? She’s only a few years away from menopause.
This pig Sandra Fluke is profoundly selfish, even for a liberal.
I am supposed to give a damn about what a Georgetown law grad, who cannot afford a box of rubbers, thinks?
Sandra Fluke is pathetic. I hope one day she wakes up and realizes what a tool she is.
What is really sad is that Sandra has to stoop to such a level to get Free Advertisement.
Most “Escorts” have to pay for ads to advertise that the space between their legs is available and for sale.
Craigslist is Free... wonder what pseudonyms she uses on that particular forum?

Go “Fluke” yourself Sandra, and keep your damned hands out of my pocket.
On a side note, I would suggest to Sandra she use the “Asprin” method of birth control. Place an aspirin between your legs at the knees, and hold it there.
Looks to me that there’s really a War on Children.
Sandra Fluke-Just another stupid slunt.
Sandra position on most issues is horizontal.
What I don’t get is feminists are always about being proud of being women and celebrating diversity, but not when it comes to getting pregnant. Then they want to be just like men.
I’m over 50 and have 3 college educated sisters, two of them with engineering degrees. My mother and father were graduates of prestigious colleges. My mother had a very successful career. Only my youngest sister went to day care. When my sisters and I had our children, I was the only one that continued working, but I was an RN, only worked 3 days a week, and felt it was a calling. Just saying. Thankfully it sounds like Fluck doesn’t plan on reproducing. Women should be well educated so they can raise well educated children.
Fluke’s biology grade should be an “F” ... in the natural world, success is procreation.
I should add, I’m either a good or horrible parent. I told my daughter to hang out by the engineering department at the university and meet a nice, geeky guy, who will provide a good income with a stable career, will think she’s the bee’s knees and won’t cheat on her. Run from the pretty boys! (I’m so jaded!)
A while back, I read here that Fluke is Stephanie Cutter’s b!tch. just eeewwww.
That should be a poster. Well done.
So close your legs girl.
