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

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.

“You are assuming that Georgetown still supports the tenets of Catholicism ...”

Georgetown is not Catholic - a few years ago they took down the crucifixes when Obama came to visit so as not to offend his (Muslim) sensibilities. St. Ignatius - Ora pro nobis.

Part of me is relieved to see they could only get 40% of liberal college students to complain about a non-freebie

“Wouldn’t you be wonderfully proud as a parent to have your daughter before congress speaking about this? ...”

Forgive me for obnoxious bragging, however my daughter is a rising 2L at a more conservative law school in VA - is on the law journal, is very pretty, feminine, a practicing catholic, and is NOT promiscuous. I am bringing her up because these young ladies do exist!! They are scarcer than the FLUKE type, though.

!!!!

Co-incidentally, I believe I'm the only hockey goaltender in my high school's history to commit a penalty so egregious I was forced to serve the time in the box myself.

Wow! $3,000 over 3 years, or $1,000 a year? That’s a whale of a lot of condoms!

I just heard her testimony on Glen Beck. She sounds like Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High reading her letter to the older guy that dumped her about maturity.

Well, let's see:

It costs me approximately 5K a year for beer, I am going broke supporting my drinking. I need a government grant, or at least a little support here.

I spend almost double that for gas for my truck, going broke here, gov't should simply gimme a charge card for petrol.

My chickens and horses are literally eating me out of house and home, gotta have some of that good ole gov't moola to help bridge the gaps, you see.

Shooting at the range is simply bankrupting me, what with the high cost of cartridges and all. Simply cannot do it without a little help from the feds.

Etc

Send her up to Congress to present the other side of the story. Good daughters are an immeasurable treasure.

If her number is true, the students there are pretty randy - or promiscuous.

5.47 times a day, every day, for 3 years ?

Woo-hoo !

Let’s make a PRO CHOICE argument:

Choose whether or not law school is important to you.
Choose if you’re going to engage in sexual activity or not.
Choose if you want to buy into the group health insurance package Georgetown University offers its students.
Decide if a prestigious Catholic university law school is the right place for you.
Decide if the doctrinal notion of “free will” central to Jesuit ideology is your own.
Choose if want purchase your own contraceptivves or spend your money on, say: cell phone service, a nice cabernet, cable TV, a metro card, new shoes, theater tickets, a trip to Cancun, a birthday gift for Wanda, or some shiny .44 magnum hollow points.

I have to stop now because I’m about to start bawling my eyes out for the poor, oppressed, sex-maniac law students of Georgetown...BOO FREAKIN’ HOO!

I see. So I need to pay to subsidize this skank's foolish lifestyle choices.

Makes perfect sense.
