I know that this is a difficult concept for Leftists to grasp, but I hate paying for your lifestyle choices. Recently some 30 year old
Now let’s get some things straight understood. I don’t care if she screws the entire Redskins lineup during the week and spends her weekends having sex with their cheerleaders. This is America, and Sandra Fluke has a perfect right to have sex with as many people as she can and feel good about herself afterwards. Being male, though married, I have a clear understanding of how lots of wymmon having lots of sex means that sex is easier to come by get. So I have no intention of telling Ms. Fluke to curb her sluttish totally empowered, sex positive ways. On the contrary, I hope (for the sake of the single men) that she not only continues, but that she encourages others to emulate her.
Here’s my problem, though. Ms. Fluke demands that I pay for her birth control. Now it’s one thing for her to ask me to turn a blind eye to her rampant sexual escapades taking control of her sexuality. It’s quite another for her to demand that I fund it. You see, Ms. Fluke isn’t offering me any of her favors. Not that I blame her in any way for this rational decision on her part. In the unlikely event that she found me attractive, you have to admit that the prospect of getting stabbed by my wife is a powerful dissuading factor.
Ms. Fluke says that it would cost her $3K for the three years she is in law school, or $1000 per year. Let’s examine how Ms. Fluke could accumulate a bill of that magnitude.
According to the Planned Parenthood website, the Depo shot is $35-75 per shot depending on your ability to pay. You get that quarterly. Plus exam fees, of course. So let’s accept $75 for the shot and $75 for exam fees, or a total of $150 every three months. I suspect that you don’t have to get a new exam every three months, but let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. We are now paying $600 a year.
It pays to use a barrier method of birth control, especially if you are slutting around engaging in sexual behavior with multiple partners. Depo stops babies, not herpes. Amazon offers a 144 condom variety pack for $20.48. It’s eligible for Amazon Prime, so it’s free two day shipping! She’ll need some personal lubrication, so she can get a bottle of this (Hey, it’s a gun blog, right?) for $34.32.
I figure that she’ll probably be able to get by with one bottle of lube for every two gross boxes of twelve dozen. Let’s charge her $75 for Amazon prime. This means she has a remaining $325 for condoms and lube. Two condom packs (288 condoms) plus one bottle of lube costs $75.28 which will go into giving her enough money to purchase this “combo pack” quarterly. So for her $1000, Ms Fluke can go to the doctor every 13 weeks, get a Depo shot AND order 24 dozen condoms and a 32oz bottle of lube, leaving $23.88. Maybe she can spend that on breath mints.
For the math challenged among you, a quarter of a year is 13 weeks or 91 days. 288 condoms spread over 91 days means she can get herself plowed nailed to any available surface some sweet, sweet loving three times a day, every day, four times on Friday and still have 2 condoms left over for a special occasion.
And she wants me to pay for it all.
Fuck her

Gun oil. Hah! Best smack down.
ReplyDeleteBeing that she is an modern empowered woman, the probability that she is actually engaging in that much sex is pretty low. I suspect that the $3,000-per-enrollment cost includes a nice pair of CFM pumps, something Victoria would keep secret, and at least 4 really special dinners.
ReplyDeleteOh, and a package of handi-wipes.
@Newbius: Or since she is as you say a "modern empowered woman", a good part of that budget goes for her battery-powered friends who by their very nature cannot cause conception. Perhaps by her definition, that would also be contraception.
ReplyDeleteThis post is disappointing is that it uses the same smack down, abusive, name-calling tactics as the anti-gun folks. I don't understand why anyone thinks that calling a user of birth control pills a "whore" is the height of reasoned discourse. We can argue the pros and cons of universal health care, but that is not the issue here. The issue is what should be covered by health plans and who should decide. We agree (I assume) that blood presure medications should be covered. How about weight reduction (what should we call the folks who need this if we don't agree)? AIDS medication (I can guess what we would call these folks, hopefully except for the children and the innocent spouses)? Viagara? Do we say COPD drugs aren't covered because the patient shouldn't have smoked? Let's debate whether prescription birth control medication should be covered (or are we debating whether it should be available at all) and save the name calling for the anti's. Since condoms were mentioned, I assume we agree that some methods of birth control are acceptable. Maybe the answer is to move birth control medications to over-the-counter like condoms to take the health insurance issue out of the debate. People deserve choices in health coverage just as they deserve choices in fulfilling their Second Admendments Rights, not personal attacks for their chioces.
ReplyDelete@Skinnedknuckles: a whore is a person who has sex for money. This person wanted.me to pay for her to engage in sex. You figure it out. I make no value judgement about her activities, I just apply the proper terms. If she objects to the term, let her change her behavior.
ReplyDeleteThe Left demands that we accept their terms of the debate. They demand that we accept their behavior AND pay for the consequences. They must accept that the person who pays the piper gets to call the tune. This shouldnt be difficult to understand, that's what they do to us. If we don't apply those same rules to them, we will have only the rights they allow us, and we will get to pay for it all. We must train them to understand that until they pay the costs of their own personal choices, we get a say in those behaviors.
I trust that they will rapidly come to the same conclusion conclusion I did when I left home. If I paid for it, Dad didn't get a vote. Until they get there, it's our job to make them suffer.
Sorry, she did not ask you to pay her for sex. She asked that her health insurance pay have a gender specific coverage. Health care is paid for by the insured (if the employeer pays, it is part of the worker's pay). Again, if the debate is universal health coverage (which we effectively already have, just provided very inefficiently), debate that but don't fall into the trap of personal attacks. It is beneath us.
DeleteThey will avoid being attacked personally when they stop attacking us personally. We can pretend to be "better" than that, but all that does is get us smacked around while we stand there looking stupid. They will stop only when those personal attacks get painful. I will not fall into the "civility" trap. If they wanted civility, they would act civilly. As it is, they are trying to turn a religious freedom issue into a "Conservatives want women to DIE!" issue.
DeleteSecondly, she did not ask for her health insurance to pay, she demanded that her religiously affiliated school provide her with health insurance, paid by them, to give her free birth control to the tune of $1000 a year. She can chose not to have sex, so she is demanding that someone else fund her choice to have sex without consequences.
Not only did she demand that her religiously affiliated college pay to provide these things, she also demanded that the coercive power of the State be used to force that college to comply, despite the fact that this completely violates the religious precepts of the college in question.
She has demanded that I, someone who does not benefit in any way from her decisions, be involved in paying for, or forcing others to pay for items solely so she can engage in sexual activity. She deserves all the chaff she's getting.
Sorry, she did not ask you to pay her for sex. She asked that her health insurance pay have a gender specific coverage.
DeleteYes, actually. Yes, she did. She demands that her birth control be paid for by others.
Now, maybe I'm not up on the latest scientific findings, but I always thought that if you didn't want to get pregnant, you could always--you know--NOT HAVE HETEROSEXUAL INTERCOURSE. That seems to be the consensus among most objective researchers.
Now, lest anyone think I'm chucking rocks from within a glass house, I will admit that I have been quite promiscuous in my misspent youth. I was such a slut that I wasn't allowed to visit the Virgin Islands. But I never demanded that anyone support my promiscuity. I acquired my own condoms, paid for my own vasectomy, and took responsibility for my own actions. My lifestyle choices were my own, and I accepted that concept willingly and thoroughly.
Get it yet?
Gender-specific? Is that fair?
