Sandra Fluke: Republicans Can’t Win Female Vote ‘Until Their Policies Change’

Sandra Fluke, a former “reproductive justice” advocate at Georgetown Law School, has a new mission: getting more women to run for elective office. …

Fluke, a liberal Democrat, said she hopes the Republican Party succeeds in getting more women to run. “We need to have women representing diverse ideological perspectives,” she said. “But in terms of the voter base—they’re not going to get the majority of women’s votes until their policies change.” …

Whatever. A recent poll showed women, by a slight margin, but a margin nonetheless, are more pro-life than men. She really thinks she’s something because she got Obama to make the taxpayers pay for her birth control.

[DeaconRed]

Fluke is a SLUT.

In the factory we make cosmetics, in the showroom we sell hope.

… Charles Revson founder of the Revlon cosmetics empire.

Charles Revson understood his market and so do successful cosmetic companies who are able to charge multiples of 10,000% over the cost of their product.

In a sense Sandra Fluke also knows her market. When Republicans year after year lose the women's vote, it must be accepted that they do not understand their market. What Is Sandra Fluke Selling?

She to selling hope. If we understand that young women use contraceptives and abortion much the same way they use cosmetics, we will begin to understand why logic has nothing to do with their vote. The brutal truth is that young women are in the marriage market and they have sex to withhold or to confer and so long as the choice is theirs they have a marketable commodity. If they lose the power to confer or withhold sex because they are liable to pregnancy, they lose a marketable commodity in today's culture.

In times of old, that means before the pill around 1960, young women did not have actual sex but only the promise of sex as a marketable commodity unless there were willing to court substantial risks. Of course, many took risks but proportionately fewer did in those days than today. Before the pill, the culture frowned on sex before marriage and today the bastardy rates make clear that that is no longer the case. But despite the bastardy rates, indeed even because of the bastardy rates, a young woman's need for the pill is even more acute.

If the culture requires her to engage in sex before marriage, as ours virtually does, and if the culture does not compel the man to marry her on the occasion of pregnancy, as it no longer does, the young woman is extremely vulnerable without the pill.

Because of sloppiness and alcohol, she is also vulnerable without abortion.

The next observation will no doubt generate a negative reaction from many females but it is clear that many women get pregnant on purpose in the hopes they will be taken to the altar knowing that if there is no sale they can resort to abortion.

Those who react negatively to these observations ought to consider that it is young women, unmarried women, unmarried women with children, who vote against the Republicans and it is married women who vote for Republicans.

If it is folly to rely on hope over experience, it is equally folly to rely on logic over hope-at least where fundamental motivations of women are concerned.

It’s amazing, all these leftist kooks offering advice to help Republicans win future elections. But what’s even more amazing is some Republicans take them seriously.

"Sandra Fluke, a former “reproductive justice” advocate at Georgetown Law School...."

I believe Rush had a much more eloquent term for "reproductive justice advocate".

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Olog-hai.

Fluke, a liberal Democrat, said she hopes the Republican Party succeeds in getting more women to run.

She's a demagogue and sexist supporter of the Demagogic Party.

[freedomfiter2]

Reproductive justice would be if people who refuse to reproduce would die. Is that what she’s talking about?

“It’s amazing, all these leftist kooks offering advice to help Republicans win future elections. But what’s even more amazing is some Republicans take them seriously.”

Any Republican who takes a bigoted Democrat’s advice for success is too gullible to be elected....or is a client of Tokyo Rove.

[SkyPilot]

To win over the godless left, you MUST acknowledge that this dead thing is no thing! Do it! Or I won't support you.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Is that what she’s talking about?"

No, she's talking about forcing YOU to pay for her birth control pills, and at prices that are ten times higher than she could buy them for at Wal-Mart.

[SampleMan]

But if there are two socialist-infanticide political parties, wouldn’t that be redundant?

[Will88]

Any Republican who takes a bigoted Democrat’s advice for success is too gullible to be elected....or is a client of Tokyo Rove.

Rove is a 'leader' in this stupidity. It's became so stupid it's as if some major football coach is advising his opponents what type offense to run to have success against him, and the opponents follow the advice.

[Venturer]

That was great.

I can do it in a shorter version.

The problem is that 50% of the world is women and they control 100% of the -———well you know.

[Walrus]

Check the post of John Hawkins’ column about the 25 stupidest liberal quotes of the decade. Any of them by women?

[blaveda]

Who finances fluke, since she can't afford birth control, how does the poor dear support herself?

Probably the same people who finance St Trayvon's parents.

[csmusaret]

Obamacare will provide free hangover remedies to anyone who wakes up in bed with Sandra Fluke.

[Viennacon]

Amazing how easy it is to become famous.

[depressed in 06]

If she wants to cover the cost of having sex she should charge more.
