Sandra Fluke is being sold by the left as something she's not. Namely a random co-ed from Georgetown law who found herself mixed up in the latest front of the culture war who was simply looking to make sure needy women had access to birth control. That, of course, is not the case.

As many have already uncovered Sandra Fluke she is, in reality, a 30 year old long time liberal activist who enrolled at Georgetown with the express purpose of fighting for the school to pay for students' birth control. She has been pushing for mandated coverage of contraceptives at Georgetown for at least three years according to the Washington Post.

However, birth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if gender reassignment surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. She makes these views clear in an article she co-edited with Karen Hu in the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law.

Rush and Fluke sound like two peas in a pod.

A recent law (the last two or three years) allows parents to carry their children on their insurance until the children are 26 years old if they're students.

Why would any college/university have to cover students for health care or any kind of insurable coverage? First they have to show insurable interest (which means they could take out a life policy to cover the loss of that student's tuition). I guess, we could stretch it to cover loss of tuition if a student becomes gravely ill and has to withdraw.

My point is: Where's the insurable interest for the university? Do universities normally cover students with health insurance?

(When I went to college, I was older and had my own and my employer's insurance so this befuddles me. I'm asking a serious question)



Peace and comfort,

If the word of Rush himself means anything, he said that he was there for sex. From Wikipedia: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."

I noticed back in college...and this is not strictly about Rush, but that the best advertisements for birth control were those that were vehemently opposed to it.

Just a thought.

One could say the same about the people that area always standing in front of the local Planned Parenthood. Or the people, who have the anti abortion signs in their front yards, down in Lapland.
