Journal smittyoneeach's Journal: An Hour With Sandra Fluke 12
If I'd an hour with Sandra Fluke,
I'd read to her from the Gospel of Luke,
To watch the jeering Jezebel puke,
And take some bets on the time it took,
Though such mark me a Christian crook.
These days we all need a little book,
As the economy has us down on our luck,
Since the Fickle Finger of 'Fairness' struck,
And the President: he don't give a bother.

Sandra Fluke is notable only for being nominated to speak at a congressional hearing she was completely unqualified to speak at, then showing up at a different show hearing to lie about how much contraception costs, in order to tell the insulting lie that women require government help to get them contraception, in order to push the idiotic lie that Republicans are somehow anti-woman.
That's it. That is all she has ever done that is worthy of note: being used, and telling lies.
Oops. I thought I was logged in. Dammit!

For once I agree with pudge. I hope her pimp got paid well by the pharmaceutical industry's attempt to peddle poison and get the government to pay for it- because even if she isn't a sexual whore, she's defiantly a crony corporate shill, which is almost as bad.

Because our government is that jacked up.

I respect Rice in many ways, but she really screwed up on the Benghazi thing. Either she didn't know what she was saying was bullshit, or she did. If she didn't, then she was either too ignorant and naive, or too cynical, to think about whether it made any sense. It WAS bullshit, and it DIDN'T make sense, and she should've at the very least thought for two minutes about how stupid it was.
I was watching her that Sunday and knew what she was saying was nonsense, and if she thought about it at all, she knew

That is not what Ms Fluke said.
Nobody asked for "free contraceptives". They just want the insurance that the women are already paying for to cover what is for them a major medical expense.
Now that she's back in the news, I went and read her entire testimony before congress and she never asked for free contraception or suggested that there should be free contraception. Just that insurance companies need to start

Because... The premiums they will pay out for maternity and dependent care make this benefit pale..
I notice these guys don't go after the moral character of beneficiaries receiving insurance coverage of Boner Pills in post-cardiac treatment. Double standard much?
BTW. The guys who take Viagra aren't getting any, anyways.

Which is why a lot of policies out there don't cover maternity either (or didn't before the government came in and started them what to cover).

Which means that uncovered people with complications and poor pre-natal care will again, have poor outcomes that burden the insurance system and increase costs - while decreasing payouts across the board.
Countries with full maternity coverage CLEARLY do better than the US, where it is spotty. The US has shameful, dramatically higher rates of infant and maternal mortality than nearly all of western Europe, and higher incidence of birth defects and preventable neo-natal health issues.

My parents have never questioned why their first grandchild was born in Australia, or why it's likely that their second one will be born in Sweden.
But, even amongst my family, they're the exception rather than the rule in that regard.
