The Big Lie, Perpetrated By Rush Limbaugh And Furthered By His DittoheadsAfter reading the posts by the many dittoheads on this forum who parroted Rush's words that Sandra Fluke testified that she was having 'so much sex' that she couldn't afford to pay for contraception, and that she wanted taxpayers to 'pay for her to have sex', IOW she wanted contraceptives to be 'free', I decided to sit down and watch her entire testimony, to see what she actually said.First of all, the only time she ever said anything about herself was when Rep. Elijah Cummings asked her, "For the benefit of those who may not understand, can you describe your qualifications for testifying about the restrictions on insurance coverage for contraceptives?She answered, "I'm an American woman who uses contraception, so let's start there. That makes me qualified to talk to my elected officials about my health care needs."Second of all, she was not asking for contraceptives to be free. What she testified about was how important it was for contraceptives to be included in insurance coverage under the Affordable Health Care Act, something that is being threatened by the Roy Blunt Amendment and the Marco Rubio bill.Students at Georgetown pay for their own health care coverage, and it is not subsidized by the University.What Sandra Fluke was asking is that Georgetown or any other university or employer not be able to block women from having contraceptive coverage in their insurance plans.Anyone interested in the truth can watch her testimony here.http://www.c-spanvid...rogram/304550-1
