In case you’re wondering why so many college students seemingly come out dumber than they went in, it could be because some are too busy on their backs.
Speaking at a hearing held by Pelosi to tout Pres. Obama’s mandate that virtually every health insurance plan cover the full cost of contraception and abortion-inducing products, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said that it’s too expensive to have sex in law school without mandated insurance coverage. Apparently, four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet if they have to pay for their own contraception, Fluke’s research shows.
Emotions run the gambit on this one. Anger, laughter, pity… it’s all here.
OK. I haven’t bought condoms in a long, long time. Got it? But how pricey are they nowadays? Any users here who can clue the rest of us in?
Anyway, aren’t there outfits that give them away? Planned Parenthood? The local high school? Middle school? Elementary school?
Just askin’.
OK. I read the article. $1.00/ea at CVS online, discounted at PP. But wait! Many of the comment posters, showing all the critical thinking skills of an ordinary rubber duck, inform us that condoms are unreliable and women also need expensive hormonal products. And that anyone who thinks that the women themselves — or their partners — should even consider paying for them is a . . . a . . . just a nasty person who hates women.
I feel so dirty. Shower time.
Advocates for Youth: School Condom Availability
An increase in reported sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV/AIDS, among adolescents has prompted many communities to take action to protect their youth. One proven method is to provide comprehensive sexuality education along with school based programs that make condoms available to sexually active youth. Numerous national health organizations have adopted policies in support of school condom availability as a component of comprehensive sexuality education.
They really don’t understand how their “good intentions” sponsor progressive corruption of individuals and society. Well, this is from February 1998. Perhaps, they have learned something in the interim. Then again, San Francisco was installing vending machines to dispense condoms in just the past couple of years. Apparently, they justified this public expenditure through the well known “think of the children” deception.
Hah! You found it, Bob. I was waiting for an open thread to post this nonsense. I find it especially amusing that she manages to extrapolate a general conclusion from very specific, limited, and unrelated cases. Incidentally, the same strained arguments are used to corrupt both contributory and non-contributory entitlement programs.
Here’s what she missed:
Per person cost of federal high-risk medical plan doubles

To Pay New York Pension Fund, Cities Borrow From It First

The higher education bubble had the same cause as the real estate bubble, the medical services bubble, etc., and inflation in general.
It is dreams of physical, material, and ego instant gratification, principally through redistributive and retributive change, but also through fraudulent and opportunistic exploitation, that sponsor corruption.
Contraception has unwittingly become the preeminent symbol of progressive corruption.
It’s ironic, and frightening, that this student has been honored with a “public interest scholarship”. She reminds me of another fellow with similar “public interests”.
There are other unintended consequences that have been enforced through appeals to emotion, selective history, selective science, etc. The outcome has been denigration of individual dignity, devaluation of human life, and a progressive malaise.
The prerequisite for liberty is individuals capable of self-moderating behavior. This is progressively untrue of a large minority of the American population. It doesn’t help that this behavior receives incentive through a selective rule of law.
What’s next? Will they, perhaps, “ask” for tribute to finance their desire to sacrifice human lives? Oh, the inconvenience that self-financing their self-gratification must be. They probably have to miss a luxury or two.
They’ve become sluts, because they weren’t smart enough to charge. Right or left, the solution is the same. Capitalism shouldn’t bail out bad business decisions with subsides. All they need do, if they’re generous Marxists providing for the needs of men who cannot afford to pay for services is to charge extra for those men able to pay for those services.
Somebody did the math and determined that this filthy hooker and her friends needed to have sex 3 times a day, every day, to meet the $3,000-while-in-law-school amount she mentioned.
So, I think I have a solution. Put a damn meter next to your dorm room bed and charge for your services. You’re already an amateur hooker, might as well become a professional one. BONUS!!! Your contraception then becomes tax-deductible as a business expense. DOUBLE BONUS!!!! Since you’re an idiot and soliciting prostitution is a crime, no law firm will hire you!!! There will be one less useless scheister in the world.
Forgot to mention: That is one hideous-looking she-male!!! I wouldn’t pork her with Bob’s dick!
Excuse me?
Ms. Fluke, and those similarly situated, don’t need d**k and don’t need law school… They need jobs. What are Pelosi and Obama doing about that?
What? No comparison from her about how much money we men spend on women like her to get sex in the first place? Vodka and Barry White CDs aren’t cheap, lady!
I fail to see how assaulting the body with synthetic chemicals and horse piss is necessary for women to be healthy. Hate to say it but if everyone wants cheap contraception vasectomies are by far the most cost effective.
Only a matter of time, Koala, if this unconstitutional mandate is allowed to stand, that the gummint will begin the mass sterilizations because its cheaper…
Seems to me that that aspirin held tightly between the knees is a) cheap) and b) effective. Mom and Dad knew what they were talking about, didn’t they?
