Law Student Demands Free Contraceptives
Ms. Sandra Fluke made statements in Washington DC concerning her use of contraceptives, and the need for Georgetown University to pay for her contraceptives. Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, and then apologized for the comment. Ms. Fluke wants Limbaugh fired, even though he is self employed. I guess he is to fire himself. She claims his comments are tantamount to violence against women. His show is produced by him and syndicated. It has the largest listening audience of any radio program in the USA.
Recent decisions by HHS Secretary Sebelius mandate Catholic institutions, of which Georgetown University is one, must cover, with no co-pay, contraceptives. This violated church teachings which were clearly stated in Pope Paul VI Humanae Vitae, 1968, that artificial birth control is both unnatural and immoral.
Ms. Fluke claims to spend $3000 annually on birth control. For the life of me I cannot comprehend why anyone other than her should pay for her conception-free sex life. So, even though Ms. Fluke is not an employee of GU, but a student, this catholic institution should violate catholic beliefs and provide her with contraceptives. So much for the first amendment of the US Constitution which garentees freedom of religion.
