Can't resist my own "Fluke" rant



What she said:   “Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. 40% of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggle financially as a result of this policy.
“One told us about how embarrassed and just powerless she felt when she was standing at the pharmacy counter and learned for the first time that contraception was not covered on her insurance and she had to turn and walk away because she couldn’t afford that prescription. Women like her have no choice but to go without contraception.

What it meant:  "Since there are a tiny number of women who may need "the pill" for legitimate health reasons (and within the sanctity of marriage), and since there are law students who get married but do not choose to take on the responsiblities of grown ups (paying their own way in life), and since some of these married-women-with-vaginal problems and married-students-who-don't-believe-they-should-accept-grown-up-responsilibilties have chosen of the own free will to attend a Catholic law school, said Catholic law school is morally and legally responsibile to reject two millenia of its faith and teaching to accommodate the medical and convenience needs of this tiny minority of students out of tuition and donations made for religious education as well as the other 80% of unmarried future-well-paid-lawyers who just want to sleep around. But they don't really sleep around that much. They just want to sleep around about $3000 worth.  And they're not sluts."
