Sandra Fluke is a walking, talking automaton, spewing leftist talking points like she’s being paid to do so. Her latest interview is more of the same.
Birth control is readily available, no one is keeping it from her. Or anyone else. It IS FREE – all you have to do is buy it.
So it’s not about birth control, it’s about EQUALITY? Women who have children can’t possibly be able to get ahead in life with those little anchors around! Women can’t possibly go to grad school if they’ve had children or advance in their careers.
Well, guess what, bitch? I was at Walgreens the other day and the shelves were lined with contraceptives.

In a candid on-camera interview two weeks ago with the campus newspaper of her alma mater, Cornell University, contraception activist Sandra Fluke explained that her agitation for free and universal access to contraception has a larger goal: removing the “barriers” of unwanted children from women’s paths to career and political success.
“I don’t think that I am in particular entitled to contraception, or that that we’re entitled to contraception,” the thirty-one year-old activist explained in a little-watched video The Cornell Daily Sun put online Oct. 15. “I think the case is much more about what kind of society do we want to live in.”
“If we think about what contraception means for people, it’s not only about having access to the health care that you need, and the human rights aspects of having access to health care, but it’s also about what being able to control your own reproduction does for women specifically, but for men as well,” she said.
“It allows us to pursue the educational opportunities that we hope for and to have the careers and the career trajectory that we dream of.”
During a Sept. 24 speech at Southern Methodist University, she pointed to birth control as a significant reason American women have had greater access to career success and elective office.
“So it’s important to make that option available to all women,” she said, referring several times to children from unwanted pregnancies as “barriers” to women’s commercial success and political status.
Women who lack access to contraception are more likely to be poor and “women of color,” she noted in a multicultural message, and claimed a lack of affordable contraception among those populations of women excludes “the perspectives of very specific communities, communities that I hope will be increasingly included in our public dialogue and that all of us need to be able to hear from to have that rich and full conversation as a society.”
“That’s what it ultimately comes down to — equality,” she said. “Not just equality on paper, of saying that contraception is not illegal, or equality on paper, of saying you can be admitted to a university or you can hold a job.”
Instead, she explained, “equality” should translate to all women having “the ability to control your reproduction so that that a career is a realistic goal and something that can be achieved and not derailed.”
At Cornell, she framed widely available and free contraception as one form of leverage that could ensure a greater role in politics for women who are unencumbered by children they didn’t plan on bearing.
Because of idiots like Sandra Fluke, the company Mike works for have changed their insurance offerings for 2013… instead of the usual four to six policies to choose from, we now have only one option and it’s nothing like previous models – best described as catastrophic, it doesn’t even cover medication.
SO. To obamacare and fools like Fluke: get over yourselves and your dreams of world domination and leave me alone. You’ve made it so I can’t get sick. Hope you’re happy.
Palate cleanser. Don’t know about you, but I needed one.
they MUST go!
then we MUST hold the new guy’s feet to the fire
Yep and Yep!!!
gonna be very hard to turn the ship without the senate – you’re mission, should you chose to accept it, it to elect connie mack
Mission already accepted and on track!
Forget contraception, people like her need to be sterilized so no more like her can breed. Chunt.
Hey, she’s the one who considers children ‘barriers’, something that can ‘derail’ ones real life… so yeah, she should feel free to get herself sterilized to avoid those unpleasant realities.
Chunt is a good word for her..
Excuse me, I just lost coverage for life threatening stuff like high blood pressure and diabetes, than why do I have to pay for some sluts birth control?
Here’s a thought: if you can’t afford birth control DON’T HAVE SEX. See, easy solution. I’d like to thank this dumbass and Lena Dunham for setting women’s rights back 75 years by focusing on our reproductive capabilities instead of equality in the workplace.
Oh, that’s too easy. Better to make the issue something it’s not so they can gain notoriety.
Oh and I went to law school as a single parent of two toddlers getting no child support. If you want to do something, you can.
You climbed right over those little ‘barriers’, eh? Good for you!!
Now, lazy folks like myself will be lazy no matter how many kids we have or don’t have…
Here’s a thought – STOP FUCKING.
Never going to happen. You should know that…
Back when I was happy joyous and freem er, I mean single and miserably lonely I knew several young women who demanded I carry them down to the Planned Parenthood Clinic and from there to the drug store before things got sweaty and fun. Okay, so none of us were ready for kids back then and, this being pre Roe V Wade, the Planned Parenthood clinic wasn’t quite so obnoxious. Still, it was no big deal. And it didn’t cost much at all, certainly a lot cheaper than enough of those girly drinks to get them to forget about it.
Of all the things to get all up in the air about, this is the least important. Note to women: If the guy is too damned cheap to spring for birth control, don’t give him any. He ain’t worth keeping around. And girls? If you think so little of yourself that you will slut yourself around with total losers, why should anyone care any more about you than those loser bums you are screwing?
You are wise in these matters, Peter! :-D
Daisy’s look seems to say, “Really? REALLY? What a dumb bitch she is. Apparently she can’t figure out how to cross her legs and say no to sex.”
Hate to break it to you, but Daisy always looks like she thinks we’re a bunch of idiots…
I figured Daisy Maisy Dixie Cup was one of *those* dogs, but I like to give her the benefit of the doubt. Now, Bree…I think she believes we’re all good and decent human beings. lol
But, back on point, I think access to birth control and regular checkups are necessary for all women. So is reproductive education. I have no problem paying into a system that provides such things because, as a taxpayer, it means those receiving the benefits are less likely to need longterm care for children they cannot support, for a lifetime of disease and medicines to treat them, and are more likely to teach their children reproductive responsibility.
I don’t, however, agree that this should be used in campaigns to scare voters into voting for one candidate over another. This comes down to what happens between doctor and patient. No one has the right to be in that room with me and my doctor and dictate what course of treatment is right for me.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one…
I’m cool with that. In fact, I’m happy to have friends who don’t agree with me on everything. Makes life much more interesting!
Now. about that dog…She cracks me up.
And why no Bree lately? I miss her adventures!!!
The Bree spends most of her time lying about and jumping up to bark at things we never see through the window. At least she still jumps up!
Fluke is being paid to talk; it is her job just as fixing phones is my job – now for daisy Mae, keep in mind she was forced into pregnancy so someone could make money off her just like a lot of women get pregnant in order to make money off the government -
Yep!
