Someone, somewhere, from so long ago has a picture of a little black boy, so maybe.
Imagine if someone else had asked the government to cover a different activity. Let’s say I want to go rock climbing. It’s my body and my choice and I want to climb all the cliffs I can! Imagine if I went to the government and asked it to pay for helmets and ropes and band-aids I’ll need to safely climb rocks every day of my life. What would everyone say? “It’s your choice to do that- no one’s forcing you to scale cliffs. So, either quit it or pay for it yourself!
In the future somebody will remind us of what she had to say and say "She coulda' been a contender".
Guess there's more than one way to waste a Georgetown Law degree.
You are so much more than your reproductive organs. Please, have some self-respect and take responsibility for your choices instead of having to beg the government for help. The government should not be able to force a religious institution – like the one we attend – to pay for the things they don’t believe in. That is pretty clear in the first amendment. But since you missed the ten commandments I can’t expect you to read the Bill of Rights either.
I believe in Georgetown. I love this school. And I know that we are so, so much better than what Sandra Fluke would make us out to be.

Now THAT’S the kind of talk I’d expect to hear out of a Georgetown student!!! Bravo!!
And I love the last line — because it’s so true. All women ARE so much better than what most liberals seem to want to paint them to be ... we ARE strong, independent, we can think for oursleves, and we don’t have to buy into what Democrats pronounce as the values we should uphold. Screw you, Democrats ...and screw YOU, Sandra Fluke. You ARE a slut, but even worse ...you’re pathetically WEAK.
Is Obama going to give this author a call? Doubt that will happen. Strong-minded responsible women don’t belong in the Democratic party.
Well written. Love the ‘skanks’ part. But please forgive me here I’m not clear on this part: “Hey Sandra! How about next Saturday night, you come hang out with me and my gay boyfriends!”
Is that a joke? or is the author serious? I mean really...what’s up with that? That itself is just as disgusting. Maybe my reading comprehension is off today, so what do you think? Serious or not.
Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1784 The education of the conscience is a lifelong task. From the earliest years, it awakens the child to the knowledge and practice of the interior law recognized by conscience. Prudent education teaches virtue; it prevents or cures fear, selfishness and pride, resentment arising from guilt, and feelings of complacency, born of human weakness and faults. The education of the conscience guarantees freedom and engenders peace of heart.
I guess a Catholic education can be found nowhere at the "Jesuit" University of Georgetown. Ignatius Loyola and John Carroll must be so "proud." /sarc
Great piece! Love it. Way to go, Angela!
He already has!
Well done, Angela.
Media will focus on anything to avoid vetting Whatshisname for the upcoming election.
This young lady’s parents must be so proud of her!
But plenty without as the comments posted in response show.
There are still plenty who don’t get that it’s about government.
Unfortunately, there are also plenty who know it’s about government and push for it anyway. Most of them hide behind the ‘ovarian cyst’ argument i.e. a 1 in 35,000 chance of having a disease treatable by oral estrogen means that oral estrogen should be free for all and it’s just coincidence if 34,999 of them use it as a contraceptive.

nice to hear others speak out like this. More should do it. This was an excellent piece and kudos to the student who wrote it.

It’d be a hoot if another student would chime in with something like, “I want the government to provide my ammunition. I do a lot of shooting at the range, and I don’t think that I should have to pay for it every time I pull the trigger.”
‘Funny how the same side that cries “Get your rosaries off my ovaries” is the same side saying, “on second thought…please pay for me to have all the sex I want!” The people who espouse “pro-choice” “values” are the same people who say religious institutions have no right to choose.’
Exactly.
Hoya Saxa!
My daughter is a sophomore at Georgetown. She’s as conservative as me. There are plenty of others like her at Georgetown.
Loved the Syracuse dig in the article.
Maybe they put a bag over her head. As I recall from my college years, that was the recommendation.
