Sandra Fluke Named As A Finalist In Time Magazines Person Of The Year

[secdrl]

She became the face for the pro-abortion movement during the 2012 elections and the laughingstock of pro-lifers for her relentless push to force Americans to pay for her birth control. College student Sandra Fluke has been nominated as a potential Person of the Year by Time Magazine.

Fluke is apparently unable to figure out how to purchase low-cost birth control from places like Target, Wal-Mart or her local pharmacy. Still, Time magazine felt she was qualified enough to include her with legitimate newsmakers and leaders who are significantly more deserving of the award and recognition.

The magazine wrote this in her bio at the page where Americans can vote NO on Fluke.

The daughter of a conservative Christian pastor, Sandra Fluke, 31, became a women?s-rights activist in college and continued her advocacy as a law student at Georgetown. After she complained about being denied a chance to testify at a Republican-run House hearing on insurance coverage for birth control, Rush Limbaugh called Fluke a ?slut.?

Democrats and many Republicans reacted with outrage, and the left made Limbaugh?s slur Exhibit A in what they called a GOP ?war on women.? Fluke, meanwhile, weathered the attention with poise and maturity and emerged as a political celebrity.

Democrats gave her a national-convention speaking slot as part of their push to make reproductive rights a central issue in the 2012 presidential campaign ? one that helped Barack Obama trounce Mitt Romney among single women on Election Day.

She attends a 65,000/year law school but she cries because taxpayers don't pay for her birth control. If this is what it takes to be nominated for a person of the year award, there's no honor in it at all. Then again, Barack Obama received the Nobel peace prize for doing absolutely nothing..

 

[bio-chem]

makes perfect sense to me.

 

[oufinny]

Jesus H Christ this country is going to shit... and so is the print media.

 

[maniclion]

Conservatives, the same people who want to put birth control in the gov'mt cheese or sterilize welfare recipients!

 

[LAM]

She attends a 65,000/year law school but she cries because taxpayers don't pay for her birth control.

the US has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the OECD as a result of a lack of availability of all forms of birth control. it's not like there is a global population problem or an economy that can't even support the number of workers now. having an excess of workers (reserve work force) pushes wages down.

Actually she wanted the healthcare policy she pays for to cover the birth control.

There will be no facts in this thread!

Sorry.

right, but she wanted them to cover it at no cost.

 

[secdrl]

Thanks. See, facts are detrimental to liberals positions.

 

[Big Pimpin]

Maybe her employer should cover her car insurance as well? And her gas?

 

[Little Wing]

Rush is wrong not only about how the birth control works, but how the insurance mandate works. We may all be paying for Rush's Viagra. But we would not pay a dime for Georgetown's proprietary health insurance program to extend its healthcare coverage to offer the full range of preventive services to Sandra Fluke and her classmates. We are, however, paying a very high price, as taxpayers, citizens and health insurance customers, for the cost of unwanted pregnancies.

or maybe they could write a "free trade agreement" that allows US healthcare workers to compete with labor from other country's which would reduce the costs of healthcare in the US by at least 25% by allowing more foreign educated health care professionals in. it's not like it accounts for almost 20% of US GDP or anything.

but then that would effect their profits which should surely be the main concern in regards to healthcare providers. it's not like they are some of the most profitable large firms in the US, oh wait they are.

the US has the highest percentage of teen pregnancy's in the OECD because of:

birth control costs and a lack of availability in the religious southern states.

 

[hoyle21]

Mississippi is the most religious state in the country. It's also number 1 in teen pregnancies and STD rates.

When it come to Ms Fluke the right is just upset that she put on a 12 inch black strap on and totally tore their assholes up. Going to be butt hurt about this one for a while I'm afraid

I grew up in PA and there are more planned parenthood facilities in a 20 minute radius from my old house than Mississippi, AK and Lousianna combined and that's just in one county.

the funny thing is that the politicians on the right that are anti-abortion could give a rats ass. they want to keep the population high for a variety of economic reasons that benefit the 1%'ers.

I'm not sure about that. I think the only people who really give a fuck about abortion are males between the ages of 16-35.

wtf are you talking about? condoms are very cheap and you can get them almost anywhere. at some places you can even get them for free.

like middle schools and high schools... at least in my town.


whatever happened to just.. not sleeping around?

 

[DOMS]

the US has the highest percentage of teen pregnancy's in the OECD because of:

birth control costs and a lack of availability in the religious southern states.

Or...there could be an other reason why (PDF).

Excerpt:

Only %14 of teen pregnancies in the USA are from whites.

Also, Mexico is an OECD country. They don't report their number of teen pregnancies, but are you trying to tell me that Mexico has fewer teen pregnancies? If so, check out the chart above and you'll see that Mexicans have a pregnancies rate 3 times that of whites.

 

[Little Wing]

age of consent in Mexico is so low it is just common sense there would be more pregnancies. simply moving here doesn't seem to alter anyone's cultural beliefs either.

 

[LAM]

LOL...your a piece of work their DOMS, everything is about race to you. still trying to prove to yourself that whites are superior.

the teen pregnancy rate is higher for blacks and Hispanics because of income and religion. but when you just look at income, all poor people act the same and follow the same behavior patterns.

 

[Little Wing]

if people had access to free birth control or even greatly reduced more people would use it consistently. i recall a member here that was in a two income relationship and went off his anxiety meds due to costs.

i think more people need to think this through. if one finds bc hard to pay for that pregnancy and rearing that child will be tax payer expense. i will choose to pay for the bc instead every time. and yes, even a tax payer funded abortion if the parents so choose.

What gets lost in translation is that yes, in a perfect world everyone would pay for their own contraception or only people who can afford and are willing to raise a child would engage in sex. The reality is that is a pipe dream so as a society what is the cheapest most cost effective way to deal with this issue?

Clearly birth control is cheaper than raising a baby.

 

[DOMS]

LOL...your a piece of work their DOMS, everything is about race to you. still trying to prove to yourself that whites are superior.

You are the one that felt the need to point out that the USA has the highest number teen pregnancies in OECD countries. I'm giving the major underlying reason why. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it any less of a reason.

Also, you're the one that lied in your post.

the teen pregnancy rate is higher for blacks and Hispanics because of income and religion. but when you just look at income, all poor people act the same and follow the same behavior patterns.

Yeah, there's always an excuse. Always a reason why it's someone else's fault when it come to minorities.

so being poor makes you sleep around without condoms?

 

[secdrl]

See, LAM leaves out a crucial part. He completely negates the personal responsibility aspect of it and looks to point fingers. That's a very common tactic of the left. Rather than start with a foundation of common sense and personal liability, they immediately blame anyone they possibly can.

 

[Zaphod]

right, but she wanted them to cover it at no cost.

There is a cost, it's called the premium.

June Carbone: How We're All Paying for Rush Limbaugh to Take Viagra (And Why it Costs a Lot More Than Contraception)

The reason for this is that health insurance companies consider drugs like Viagra that prevent limp dicks to be much more important than birth control drugs.

This Sandra lady wants it totally free, no copay and not added on to the premium. get it now?
