After viewing the entire hearing on c-span, it’s clear that Ms. Fluke did not misrepresent herself. She made it clear that she’s an activist advocate speaking for others. As such she’s very probably over-reaching, but she did make one point that seems to be overlooked in all the subsequent furor.
There are some women with serious legitimate medical problems (e.g. tumors and seizures) that can be controlled only by taking certain (probably expensive) prescription contraceptive medications - not for contraception, but for unrelated medicinal value these drugs happen to provide. It would be good if we could address this issue narrowly, without accepting financial responsibility for recreational contraception.
For any who wish to know the facts of her testimony, here is the link:

at that point it is not a contraception it is not used to prevent birth but towards other treatments.
This was NEVER about contraception, this is and always was about bluring abortion into contraception.
Abortion is not a cancer treatment for women, abortion is not a means of regulation monthly cycles or menapause treatment.
This is about forcing companies to provide abortion regardless of choice. You do not need to be a religious organization to not provide abortion services to employees. ANYONE should be able to assert their moral right to refuse such coverage.
Government should not be in the business of impossing leftists’ amorality.
actually she did.
she gave anecdotes that were heresay on heresay.
It was a last minute witness bait and switch by democrats. She had ZERO expertise in the area. ZERO knowledge of the medical issues.
To argue she did not lie is an indefensible position.
