Sandra Fluke testified about a friend/acquaintance of hers who lost an ovary due to an untreated ruptured ovarian cyst. She claims that the insurance company that covers PCOS treatment (birth control pills) would not cover the friend’s prescription because they believed the friend who is a lesbian wanted the pills for contraception rather than for PCOS treatment. Thus, the lesbian received no treatment and lost an ovary. The lesbian bemoaned the fact that she might want to have children later in life and that the loss of one ovary would greatly reduce her chances. Statistically, PCOS sufferers have great difficulty making it through one trimester of pregnancy. Odds are already against this lesbian having a baby ever. My problem with this story is that doctors make a diagnosis of PCOS based on hormone counts and known ovarian cysts. An insurance company would know whether or not PCOS had been diagnosed, and I don’t see an insurance company denying a claim like that without expecting a huge lawsuit. I want to know if this lesbian PCOS sufferer sued her insurance company. Maybe Sandra Fluke could be asked about this by some enterprising journalist. If we are going to talk about women’s health issues, let’s talk about women’s health issues. Sandra Fluke is a politician in the making. She needs to back up her sob stories with some facts.
Exactly. If Fluke is going to open her mouth and spew lies she wants people to believe, she better be prepared to back it up with facts. I actually feel sorry for her. She is from this day forward - for the rest of her life - to be only known as a slut, not because anyone else said it, but because she admitted it to the whole world!
What this means is that Fluke testified that her friend DID have a policy that covered this problem.
So, her beef was that if we don't cover students who are already covered then they'll be what???? Out double coverage?
Rush was obviously having fun with this, and in a certain satirical way, my paying for Fluke's birth control IS my paying for Fluke to have sex.
The real bottom line, though, is that Georgetown University is part of the Catholic Church. Religious Bodies have had schools for something like thousands of years, so this is no real surprise. For the most part, they have always been among the best educational institutions, and that is true of Georgetown U. Therefore, lots of students want to gain admission.
What is a surprise is that some apparently bright law student going there didn't realize that the religious institution had religious beliefs.
And that they actually mean to follow them.
If she doesn't like it, then she can transfer.
