Nancy Pelosi’s initiative to convince Sandra Fluke to testify to the principle of contraception as a health care necessity is simply wrong. Colleges and universities provide accidental injury/major medical and not traditional employee health insurance to students. Since students are generally young and not subject to the myriad diseases confronting older people or families with children, the coverage is limited. Not only contraceptives, but many medical procedures and drugs are not included. Since sexual intercourse is an optional, and not a required activity of law school students, contraceptives should not be among policy provisions.
Ms. Fluke testified that 40% of the women in law school considered sexual intercourse a compelling or preferred recreational activity. Therefore, the proper place to make her case is with the Georgetown University Student Association. The university encourages students to actively engage in more than 200 co-curricular clubs and activities. She testified to what would be more accurately described as a club sport or performing art, than as a health care necessity.
The analogy should not be considered facetious, but should awaken people to the limits of targeted, low cost insurance programs.
When. Where? You've posted this more than once today and each time I ask the same question, because that liberal activist Fluke did not say that to the Democrats in her presentation. If she said this, then I want to know when and where so I can use it when I talk with liberals. If she didn't and you are either making this up or are clueless, then It does not help this situation.
Actually, this was a political setup for the giant "War Against Women" scream-meme (Liars!).
And now that Nancy Pelosi's hand is shown moving the pawn, we know whose deal this is.
