Sandra Fluke an Obama Flunky.....
Control Pills at Target 3 Miles from Georgetown Law
(CNSNews.com) – Although Georgetown Law student Sandra
Fluke testified to the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee last month
that contraception can cost a law student $3,000 over three years and that some
of her fellow students could not afford it, a Target store only 3 miles from the
law school currently sells a month's supply of birth control pills for only $9
to people who do not have insurance plans covering contraceptives.
That would make the total cost for birth control pills for a
student who decided to use them for all three years of law school just
$324.
Fluke was the sole "witness" who appeared on Feb. 23 before an
all-Democratic panel chaired by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.)
Fluke, the 30-year-old past president of Georgetown Law
Students for Reproductive Justice, said she was testifying in support of the
Obamacare regulation that requires all health insurance plans--including those
offered by Catholic universities--to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved
contraceptives. She said she wanted to tell the stories of some women at
Georgetown Law who were affected by the fact that the student health-care plan
at the Catholic university does not cover contraceptives.[Can anyone please explain to me what
"Reproductive Justice" is? Is it justice when a late term pregnancy is
"terminated" by sucking the brain out of the baby. . . er
fetus?]
(The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has said that forcing
Catholics and Catholic institutions to provide insurance coverage for
sterilizations, contraceptive and abortifacients forces Catholics to violate
Catholic teaching and is a violation of the free exercise of religion guaranteed
by the First Amendment.)
“Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over
$3,000 during law school," Fluke said. "For a lot of students who, like me, are
on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary.
Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially
as a result of this policy. [The democrat
"lawmakers" Fluke was addressing accepted this lie without question, $1,000
a year for birth control pills(!), and the press didn't question it
either!]
“One student told us of how embarrassed and powerless she felt
when she was standing at the pharmacy counter, learning for the first time that
contraception wasn’t covered, and had to walk away because she couldn’t afford
it," said Fluke. "Women like her have no choice but to go without
contraception."
“Just last week," Fluke testified, "a married female student
told me she had to stop using contraception because she couldn’t afford it any
longer. Women employed in low wage jobs without contraceptive coverage face the
same choice."
“You might respond that contraception is accessible in lots of
other ways," Fluke told the Democratic panel. "Unfortunately, that's not
true."
CNSNews.com confirmed, however, that the Target
store at 3100 14th St., NW, in Washington, D.C., which is 3 miles from the
Georgetown Law campus, offers Tri-Sprintec, the generic form of the
birth-control pill Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Target sells a month's supply of this birth
control pill for just $9 to individuals without health insurance coverage for
the pills. [Let's see, 9 X 12 = $108, or about
1/10 of the $1,000 the fluke lied about.]
A CVS pharmacy only two blocks from the Georgetown Law campus
also sells a month's supply of the same generic birth control pills for $33.
[12 X 33 = $396, a little over 1/3 of the
fluke's fraudulent cost.]
Tri-Sprintec is an
FDA-approved prescription drug and is the generic version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen.
The Physician's
Desk Reference (PDR) says it is for: "Prevention of pregnancy." It is also
decrease the risk of ovarian or endometrial cancer and, for some women, to fight
acne.
Comment: Is there any question
that the fluke is a fraud, an Obama administration plant? We were told at the
time of her testimony that she was a 23 y.o. law student - now we find that
she's a 30 y.o. "activist"! Her testimony before Democratic members of congress
was one big LIE, from beginning to end.

Does anyone really believe that this 31 year old woman is intelligent?
The face of stupidity.
How the hell she was selected to testifier before Congress and what Demarat selected
Semper Fi
Golly, and she's just a "young woman" in dire need of "edumakatin and larninn lawyrin' and stuff", 'cides she's a liberal so we know she wouldn't specifically enroll in a school to creat a problem that doesn't exist. And undoubtedly she won't make a big pile of money or get a cushy job with one of the Soros rumor and lying mills like media (don't) matter.
Believing he is the front-runner, the Democratic shill posing as a news broadcaster on ABC, George Stephanopoulos attempted to get a sound-bite from Romney during a January debate on ABC. Out of the blue, when the possibility had never even been discussed or mentioned, Stephanolpoulos asked Romney if he believed contraceptives could be banned by states. Romney didn't take the bait, but Santorum has in recent weeks and the Repressives are rallying around his statements.
It is nothing but a red herring, a phony issue. Plaintiff's lawyers use them all the time, from a distance a red herring looks like a warning flag but when you look at it close enough you see it's fishy, and when you get close enough it stinks to high heaven.
