This year has brought many changes and milestones for women’s issues and women in politics, said Sandra Fluke, American attorney and women’s rights activist. Fluke was the keynote speaker for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland’s annual fundraiser Tuesday night called “The Big Event: Courage — No Matter What.”
Hundreds of people gathered at the Rococo Theatre to support Planned Parenthood and listen to Fluke speak. About 20 protesters stood in a line on the sidewalk outside, holding anti-abortion signs and singing Christmas carols.
Fluke recently came into the public eye when conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh made derogatory statements toward her because of her support for health insurance coverage of contraceptive costs. She was among the top 40 candidates for Time magazine’s person of the year, publicly supported the Obama campaign and was a speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
“She is definitely the biggest person we’ve had in a long time,” said Emily Schiltz, Planned Parenthood intern and sophomore political science major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Schiltz said she was excited to hear such a high-profile speaker.
Fluke’s talk focused on women’s health, the affordable care act and making a difference.
“She is a wonderfully outspoken person on the affordable care act, women’s health and women’s rights,” said Susan Allen, Nebraska communications manager part for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. “We decided she would be the perfect person to speak to Planned Parenthood supporters.”

Must be hurting for speakers. All the bright young women in this country and this is the best they can do???
what fight is she referring to....angry white females, never satisfied...
How long is her 15 minutes of fame going to last?
If there is right to free birth control, why isn’t there a right to free guns?
I saw that and thought the same thing. Did this Fluke pass the bar? Sheesh. She could be the next Gloria Allred.
Sandra Fluke’s message is music to the ears of sexually active males. In order to have the pleasure of unprotected sex with as many females as possible, as often as possible, without the burden of emotional involvement or the risk of long term financial responsibility, all types of contraception, and abortion, must be readily available, inexpensive and socially acceptable. Sandra Fluke helps these males reach their goals.
As young as being in the womb? Wait....what?
One thing about leftists: there’s ALWAYS!!! some crisis that needs immediate attention above everything else. If every women or female starting at childbirth was give all the birth control pills and devices they wanted, in a few days they’d have concocted some other phony issue to bilk taxpayers and destroy traditional America.
Fluke is the NAG-HAG’s next-generation talking head. She is a younger version of a long line of unattractive, hate-filled, man-hating beotches, ala Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Molly Yard, et al.
Too late. The broad got on the gravy train, and she ain’t disembarking for the next 50 years, get used to it!
What exactly are they fighting FOR? I have to laugh at the chubby fluke who needs protection, what a riot.
Send ‘em pacifiers, they are perpetually upset.
Which state's bar did she pass?
5.56mm
She is not qualified to assume even that lowly title.
She is a thirty year old student who has lots of sex with a variety of guys.
I heard one of them is a billionaire, but she still thinks the working poor and middle class should have money taken from their paychecks to buy her birth control.
The young women of this nation need to gain and retain self-respect not follow you to your manner-less, tasteless, misogynist dark whole. Ms. Fluke you are a poster girl for the Useless Idiot Award of 2012.
