It's a physical condition, not a medical condition.

Same situation where you Leftys call illegal immigration, "immigration".

You guys never keep it straight.

- She attends a Jesuit University, and part of what is on trial here are the Church's teachings about sexuality and procreation.

- She is an activist. She's not an activist regarding public health. She's an activist about reproductive rights. Why the hell she chose Georgetown - she had to know about the institutions beliefs going in - and then became a Chairperson while at Georgetown of a "Reproductive Rights" activist group - doesn't strike anyone else as just a bit odd?

- While she's careful to throw out some red herrings about fellow students and their medical need for birth control pills, she makes clear that it's a big strain on her budget - while dishing out $100K per year for tuition, books, fees, room and board at a rather expensive University - to come up with $3K per year to keep from getting knocked up. She's pissed at The Jesuits for not footing the bill so she can have sex without consequence? That doesn't strike anyone as a bit tone deaf?

Sorry. I can't feel too sorry for this rather insensitive and self-centered human.



Bottom line, this ain't about access to prescription medication, at least not for Ms Fluke. This is about Ms Fluke, and her handlers in the Democrat party, taking a private religious institution to task a Congressional hearing for not picking up the tab for a student to act in a manner that goes against that institutions religious beliefs. Can't get much more plain than that, counselor.

I have to admit Whell...after reading that:
There are three federally funded Planned Parenthood clinics in Washington, D.C.--none being more than 3.2 miles from the Georgetown Law School.
And ...you comments above...I am in agreement with you on this. political...especially when I read that Obama called Miss Fluke.

Political nonsense!

Hell, I thing we need to treat birth control pills like cigarettes because of the increased health risks for taking birth control pills. All those law school students for reproductive justice would really get their panties in a knot over that!

So tell me of any modern medicine that does not have deleterious side effects. The four page ads Big Pharma puts in the magazines has one page of the "wonder" and three pages of how it will kill you. Maybe that is why they call it "the practice of medicine". Just maybe one of these days they will finish practicing and master the task.

With those mamogram machines abusing womens bodies I believe they cause more problems that they are worth. I am waiting for the day when the inventor uses one to examine himself for testicular cancer.

Bill - on one point you made: the left does regard pregnancy as a medical condition. The entire pro-choice philosophy is based on this. if it is a medical condition, then it can have "victim status" ascribed to it. Even a woman who engages in consensual sex, such as Ms Fluke, can become a victim if an institution like Georgetown denies her reproductive rights to shield her from the "medical condition" of an unwanted pregnancy. Poor little dear...

The GOP should look at a calander, it's 2012 not 1865.

Their stance on this is just another in the dumbing down of America by the American Taliban.

Right. There's those lifestyle drugs that guys can take to get their willies working, but you gotta get to your doctor fast if your willie is still standing at attention for over 4 hours.

Guess what, though. I don't think Georgetown should have to pay for those either.

...and with that, noone turns back the clock to the 17th century, where the government gets to determine which religious beliefs are appropriate and which are not.
