Sandra Fluke

As most know by now, Sandra Fluke is a student at Georgetown's law school, and she recently appeared before a congressional committee convened by Democrat Nancy Pelosi to wail about how horribly unfair that Catholic university was to not pay for her contraceptives.

Which translates to: "It's, like totally reasonable for Barack and the Dems to force all employers to pay for contraceptives--including the so-called "morning-after pill," regardless of any religious objection they may have."

Now, I'm not a zealot on abortion. It's an incredibly conflicted question, and my heart goes out to anyone who has to grapple with it personally. So my objection--as that of most conservatives--is not to wider insurance coverage of any of the above, but rather to the gummint *forcing* employers to provide same.

And regarding the god-king's too-clever solution to the question--which is, not forcing employers to provide the coverage, but forcing every insurance carrier to provide it for free--one can only laugh at both the audacity of the munchkins who came up with this "brilliant compromise," and the stupidity of those voters who considered it to be one!

Can so many voters be dumb enough to fall for this?

Well, for Democrats/liberals/"progressives" the answer is, they didn't fall for it, but rather, support it enthusiastically.

So...they violate the Constitution yet again.

Again, for the record: I think it's self-evident that each person owns their own body, and is free to do with it as they wish. The point I'm objecting to is Sandra Fluke, Nan Pelosi, King Barack and his legion of Dem munchkins forcing employers to pay for X--whatever that may be. Or forcing insurance companies to provide X "for free"--which of course means we all pay for it.

That power is not in the Constitution. Period.
