And your remarks do NOTHING to cover for her gross overestimation of the cost of birth control ($3000 for three years as though that is "typical" and as though there are not generic brands, "womyn's clinics", or even boyfriends / husbands to help buy them). Yes I read her remarks -- one of her "cases" was a married woman who was "forced" to forgo contraception because "she couldn't afford it".
1) That's the Obaama economy
2) WTF is she doing going to Georgetown ($40k/yr) when she can't afford $3000/3 years ?
3) WTF should Georgetown, or the taxpayers, fund her poor lifestyle choices? If that student can't afford contraception, it's a safe bet she can't afford either an abortion OR a child. She should have held off of marriage until she could reasonable afford the responsibilities thereof, rather than biting off more than she could chew.
4) Or she could use the Lewinsky method: as contraception doesn't bother her, she can't be TOO persnickety about alternative methods, right?
And the other case, of the womyn who ran off crying because "her insurance didn't cover the contraception" ?? Whatever happened to "I am woman, hear me roar?"
(Georgetown allows other insurance plans besides its own, which *do* cover contraception. And Fluke knew of Georgetown's policy and joined the Law School in the past with the express aim of trying to change their policy.)
Not to mention that this wasn't (as you love to point out on another thread) SWORN testimony: it wasn't before the real committee: it was just a fabulously scripted photo-opt.
She's merely a TROJAN WHORSE for those who do want us to subsidize their sleeping around, and those in the background, far more evil than them, who want to gain the right to dictate whether or not women will be allowed to HAVE children (cost containment, as Darth Sibelius reminds us).
Nice try, though.
Cheers!
A number of her argument points were about uses of birth control to treat non-pregnancy conditions.
Why not also demand free diabetes medicine and heart pills?
She targeted a Catholic university to challenge the Catholic Church’s position on birth control.
This is a birther control BS controversy. Democrats know that abortion is no longer a winning argument for them so they are controlling the terms used to describe the practice.
