And he did go too far by sensationalizing his argument by including the terms slut and prostitute. However, while I do not agree with a lot of his blabber, his point was right. The girl was essentially arguing that we should pay for them to have sex because it's causing such a financial burden on some people.

Even in full context it was completely incorrect.

Fluke was not even trying to testify on behalf of herself; it was on behalf of her friend, who is a lesbian and was prescribed the pill solely for the purpose of treating ovarian cysts. This is a very common treatment, and georgetown denied her coverage.

Agree that she was not referring to herself. But to bring out the numbers that 40% of her peers are having an extra financial burden is a little ridiculous. Not all of those girls have ovarian cysts.

Then he made it much worse with the comments about sex tapes. Just pointless.

Meh, he got himself in the news one day and just rode it a bit more the next.

Hack.

15 - 50/month with discounts a Planned Parenthood. Is this seriously about financial burden?

What % are prescribed for ovarian cysts?

She said that it could cause students up to $3000 of extra cost while in Law School. She could've won people over with the ovarian cysts argument, but when you go into arguments with percentages and about the financial burden, then you are arguing that people should pay for college students to have sex.

that's also over 3yrs which works out to $83/mo. So you can afford GTown law school but the $83/mo puts you over the edge? Hmmm

and I'm pretty sure this girl was trotted out to make a point that wasn't even in the original argument. But hey, she got her 15min

Three grand? How the hell did she come up with that?

BTW - I'm not defending what Rush said.

So every single HC cost must be born by Georgetown for all the female students?

Do guys get free condoms and Viagra if they need it?

We are seriously getting to a point where everyone thinks they are entitled to everything.

Finally, she could have chosen a different school than Georgetown. I'm sure it has costs that others don't.

Why would they cost $83 - I did a quick search and everywhere said 15 - 50 with discounts available through PP.

How did that even come up? Girls take BC whether they are sexually active or not for various medical reasons. That argument is a hack job.

there is a link - if you are not having sex, you do not need a contraceptive. If you are taking it for other medical reasons then it's not a link.

Funny thing was the Republicans wouldn't even listen to her testify. She had to come back at a special informal meeting held by the Democrats on the committee.

So much for sober consideration of the issues and points of view.

In fact, the Republicans would only listen to an all-male panel of witnesses testify.

About the pill.

How freakin' tone deaf can you get? Do they not realize how that looks to women voters? Try running that one by your wives or girlfriends, see what they think of that.

that's because it had nothing to do with the debate. What do her BC costs have to do with whether the mandate is constitutional?

only way the Dems win is by changing the subject. Like scoring a TD in a baseball game

maybe they've had enough of listening to preening law-school students complain about how unfair life is
