[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rush should have accused her for what she realy is.. A FAKE. She is not some random grad stUdent going broke because of her birth control costs. She is a "reproductive activist" with an agenda. They should at least have been honest wIth her motives at her "hearing" with only dems in attendance. [/quote]

Dear Moron,

Did you not read, or even listen to, her statement???

Her opening remarks are as follows:

[quote]Leader Pelosi, Members of Congress, good morning, and thank you for calling this hearing on women’s health and allowing me to testify on behalf of the women who will benefit from the Affordable Care Act contraceptive coverage regulation. My name is Sandra Fluke, and I’m a third year student at Georgetown Law, a Jesuit school. I’m also a past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice or LSRJ. I’d like to acknowledge my fellow LSRJ members and allies and all of the student activists with us and thank them for being here today.
Georgetown LSRJ is here today ...[/quote]

So she is not a fake.  She said exactly what she is and who she represents.

As for what the need is, what Georgetown covers, etc. she said this:

[quote]A friend of mine, for example, has polycystic ovarian syndrome and has to take prescription birth control to stop cysts from growing on her ovaries. Her prescription is technically covered by Georgetown insurance because it’s not intended to prevent pregnancy. ...In sixty-five percent of cases, our female students were interrogated by insurance representatives and university medical staff about why they needed these prescriptions and whether they were lying about their symptoms. For my friend, and 20% of women in her situation, she never got the insurance company to cover her prescription, despite verification of her illness from her doctor. Her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to prevent pregnancy. She’s gay, so clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy. After months of paying over $100 out of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore and had to stop taking it.[/quote]

So no, she in no way represented herself as a random grad student who could not afford her pills.  And YOU WOULD KNOW THAT if you actually read her statement.[/quote]
