She wants you to pay for her to have sex and not get pregnant. Take a good look at the future of our country folks.

At a hearing of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee yesterday, a single witness — Georgetown law student and “reproductive rights activist” Sandra Fluke — told sympathetic policy-makers that the administration’s so-called contraception mandate should stand … because her peers are going broke buying birth control.
“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception),” Fluke reported.
It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.
“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,” Fluke told the hearing.
Craig Bannister at CNSNews.com did the math — and discovered that these co-eds, assuming they’re using the cheapest possible contraception, must be having unprotected sex about three times a day every day to incur that kind of expense. What Fluke is arguing, then, is that her fellow law students have a right to consequence-free sex whenever, wherever. Why, exactly, especially if it costs other people something? When I can’t pay for something, I do without it. Fortunately, in the case of contraception, women can make lifestyle choices that render it unnecessary.
At one point, Fluke mentions a friend who felt “embarrassed and powerless” when she learned her insurance didn’t cover contraception. Can you imagine how proud and empowered that same friend would be if she learned she has the ability to resist her own sexual urges? We can only assume she doesn’t know that because Fluke and she both labor under the illusion that contraception is a medical necessity.
Some little part of Fluke must recognize that it’s not … because she sought to bolster her argument with an example of an illness in which contraception might be a medically necessary treatment. Another friend of hers, she said, has polycystic ovarian syndrome, for which contraception is a common treatment. Some insurance programs that don’t cover contraception normally would nevertheless cover it as a treatment for PCOS — but other insurance programs wouldn’t. Fluke makes it sound like contraception is the only treatment for PCOS. In fact, it isn’t — and contraception is prescribed as a treatment only when the woman also wants to contracept. Fluke says her friend is a lesbian — and so wouldn’t need contraception. Why didn’t she opt for any of the other treatments, then?
At the end of her testimony, Fluke spoke in strong language of her resentment of university administrators and others who suggest she should have chosen to attend a different university that would have offered student insurance that does cover contraception — even if that other university wasn’t quite as prestigious as Georgetown.
“We refuse to pick between a quality education and our health and we resent that, in the 21st Century, anyone thinks it’s acceptable to ask us to make that choice simply because we are women,” Fluke said.
Ms. Fluke, I resent that you think women are incapable of controlling themselves, of sacrificing temporary pleasure for the sake of long-term success. You make us sound like animals, slaves to our instincts and able to be used, but we’re better than that. We’re persons, equal to men in dignity and love.
A penny between the knees would suffice.
Maybe she should just have her tubes tied then we won’t have to worry about any more like her being born.
Even cheaper to keep your legs crossed or your fly up.
As for the little tart in your photo, even when I was a wild horny college boy, I wouldn't have been interested in her. Basic rule: You pass on anyone where the gender ain't clear.
I guess you could say that you gave us a penny for your thoughts. :-)
Ouch. But I like it. I like it a lot. LOL!
Alas Babylon.......the Temple whores are demanding their rights.
Save $$$$. Keep your legs shut.
I have a new idea for a “cause ribbon”. Have is be white.....and tied around the index and middle finger for ABSTINENCE.
Back in the day she would have been called a whore. In today’s society she is call before congress. Go figure.
What was that thing about holding an aspirin between the knees? It’s not the taxpayers’ job to pay for her to run around having sex with every Willie that comes down the pike. She needs to spend more time in college hitting the books. Mom and pop must be proud!
Perhaps she could charge a fee for access to, uh, her services.
Oh no, that would make her a .....lawyer.
Next, she’ll be asking for free waxing to take care of that mustache!
That's just it - there's NO future for our country, or the rest of the world, if these stupid, greedy liberals win. They are literally burning down the house in the middle of winter in order to keep not just warm - but to roast marshmallows, which they then throw away and don't even eat.
Liberalism is the mental illness of fixated immaturity in an adult body. It is the master plan of evil to destroy humanity.
Sounds like Georgetown needs to raise the bar on its entrance requirements. There are simple and cheap solutions to this dilemma. Choose a different college. Choose a more healthy lifestyle. Choose alternative treatments for PCOS. Poison is bad for you. And apparently, this girl believes sperm cause health problems. So keep them out!
Who ever told her the Federal Government of the United States of America is required to fund skankiness?
Did I overlook that article in the Constitution or Bill of Rights amendments?
Leaving her no money for facial hair removal and plastic surgery?
