The Blaze: Mind-Numbing’ Audio of a Law Student Telling Congress Why Religious Colleges Should Pay for Her Birth Control

[Patricia M. McBride]

I wonder if this young lady understands what her testimony makes her look like......and of course, she is there for others and not herself.  Give me a break please.  She could choose a different law school that isn't Catholic to go to I guess, but forcing the school to go against their beliefs appears to be the choice instead............and everyone who goes to this very pricey school probably has to do some belt tightening as ALL college students do (it's called life and certainly part of the process of growing up is to take responsibility for ones self and do what you have to do to do what you want to do).  I agree with Beck, if one goes to a catholic college one might hope they were less inclined to have sex 3 times a day with anyone who happens along.  This young lady, apparently, is also the go to person for the democrats, and you would think for the sake of having some credibility, they might have at least chosen someone from a state college instead of a pricey private college, but oh that's right, they are going after catholics, aren't they?  The video of her testimony is on the link.

Sandra Fluke is a student at Georgetown Law. She’s also a “reproductive rights activist” who agrees wholeheartedly with the Obama administration’s controversial contraceptive mandate. Her reasoning, though, is likely to enrage some critics.

During a testimony in front of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee on Monday (a meeting that was held by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi), Fluke — who was coincidentally the only witness heard — described the financial constraints that purchasing birth control puts on her peers.

“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy,” Fluke said, referring to the fact that the university doesn’t pay for contraception. “Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.”

She detailed, among other stories, how one woman felt “embarrassed” and “powerless” at the pharmacy counter when she “learned for the first time” that contraceptives weren‘t covered by the university’s health care plan.

Watch her complete testimony, below:
