Rush Limbaugh today called a women's health advocate and Georgetown Law student a "slut." The Huffington Post transcribed Limbaugh's comments on Sandra Fluke, who'd spoken to a Democratic panel on the benefits of birth control: "[Fluke] testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills,

Shouldn’t she be looking for Braces so her teeth don’t collapse into her mouth any further?
I see the family resemblance.
I love that movie. My favorite scene is when Ackroyd is drunk, in a Santa Claus suit, with the ladies watching him eat a sandwich on the bus. Hilarious!
Has anybody consulted with Lazmataz on this very serious matter?
From her testimoney:
“Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school...Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy. One told us of how embarrassed and powerless she felt when she was standing at the pharmacy counter, learning for the first time that contraception wasn’t covered, and had to walk away because she couldn’t afford it. Women like her have no choice but to go without contraception...
...Her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to prevent pregnancy. She’s gay, so clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy. After months of paying over $100 out of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore and had to stop taking it...
...Many of the women whose stories I’ve shared are Catholic women, so ours is not a war against the church. It is a struggle for access to the healthcare we need.”
Now, is there any connection to reality here?
“For patients not covered by health insurance, birth control pills typically cost $20 to $50 a month.”
“Clinics such as those operated by Planned Parenthood offer discounted birth control pills to women who qualify. And most college campus health centers do the same for enrolled students.
“In most states, Wal-Mart, Target and Kroger pharmacies offer a limited selection of generic birth control pills for $9 per month.”

Split the difference, and $35/month wouldn’t total $3000 for 85 months. Use the high end estimate, and you would need to take 60 months to hit $3000.
Now, how many law students cannot afford $50 month on something important to them? And if they can’t, then dropping out of law school and getting a job is an old fashioned alternative.
And does anyone REALLY believe that law students can’t afford $10-30/month for something critical to their surviving? ANYONE?
Anyone want to guess what the testifying student’s PIZZA bill is each month?
What The Fluke! Times two, LOL.
Not to worry, soon she will be a ‘wise judge’ making decisions on important issues.

Perhaps. But they share the same worldview.
If she is, someone needs to inform her that she’ll never have to worry about getting pregnant.
That's a fact. Whether she has sex with one man a night or one hundred, it only takes one pill per day to do the job. One pack of birth control pills per month costs the same whether you are screwing 10,000 guys or one guy per month.
Everything she said is a typical lefty tactic to try and get the uninformed(read that as stupid)people on her side.
Since when do lesbians need birth control?
Exactly. I wonder if the libs would support a law that taxes lesbians to support heterosexual women’s birth control? After all, the former has no need for it and since they can’t have children(without going outside their relationships), they should have the finances to support it.
Box of condoms, 12 for 99cents at the 99 cent store.
End of issue.
Now maybe a girl like her needs three thousand boxes a year or more, who knows?
Liberals bitch about people wanting a say so in their bedrooms and how they want it to be private and what they do their as their own business. Now this liberal trash WANTS people in her bedroom, but only those who would pay her to have sex. Dumbass libs can’t have it both ways.
But trying to have mutually exclusive, contradictory ideas(or having it both ways as you put it) is what defines modern liberalism. It truly is a mental disorder.
P.S. To my previous post: it’s very similar to the homosexuals trying to use the government to criminalize any disagreement or disapproval of their lifestyle. If they really keep it “in their bedrooms and it’s nobody else’s business” they why do they need to shove it in everyone’s faces and demand approval from others?
A Hoor, who’s graduated to Attention Hoor.
Yes. PAD. Post-Abortive-Depression. Can last for years. No cure. Major lawsuits.
Lawyers get the major cut of the suits (and right away, not in installments like the 'victim' gets) and lawyers fund the politicians and that's the way the world goes 'round.
