Sandra Fluke: Poster Child of a Progressive America

Sandra Fluke: Poster Child of a Progressive America. <-- You must click on this article by Krayton Kerns DVM, who is presently Montana State Rep. HD # 58, but should consider a run for national office. His blog earns links on the sidebar. From the article: "I pulled out my imaginary photo albums and reminisced about the free-love college days in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Things were different then. I remember John earning $1000 per month for sex at Colorado State University, so contraceptive costs were meaningless to him. Let me tell you about John.“

U.S. rams through its Birth Control Mandate at the UN

Friday Fax: US Bullies “Contraceptive Mandate” on International Community.

Obama will bend over for other nations on such things as national security, but his birth control-abortion-sterilization mandate is non-negotiable.

Using a thing mechanism called the Chairman’s text, which allows next to no time for other delegates to view the contents or comment on it, the views of the U.S. on “reproductive rights” were formed into a U N Resolution on Maternal Mortality. This year the limited meeting for other nations to comment was also held off site at the U.S. mission. (Does this seem similar to the Obama Care legislative process?)

Developing nations rejected another document, from the U.S. on the Status of Women, over similar language that they felt would expand the push for abortion. This is regarded as backlash against the U.S. due to its method of pushing through the Obama birth control agenda in the Maternal Mortality resolution.

Obama Extends HHS Mandate, Sneaks News Out on Friday

~ Pharmer

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is pointing out that insurance companies have not jumped for joy at the new birth control, abortion, and sterilization mandate that Obama is forcing on them. They know that it’s not really revenue neutral, especially up front, when they have to fork over one hundred percent of the costs. The supposed savings by preventing pregnancies are theoretical. Consider also that the pill induces conditions in women which require more medical attention: metabolic disorders and thromboembolic events, among others. No insurance companies have indicated an expectation of savings from Obama’s mandate.
The Hill brings up the point that no insurance coverage is free. The final cost is always coming from the total benefits package offered to the employee. If health insurance costs more, then less salary is offered.
There is also the issue of self insured employers. Many Catholic institutions are self insured, and one of the reasons for this originally could have been to avoid taking part in larger insurance pools that covered services which are not in line with Catholic teaching. Another reason would be cost containment.

THe HHS is is overturning doctrines of more than one Religion with this mandate. It might take a bit of time for the full response to come in.
Insurance companies are wondering what new unfunded mandates Obama will be imposing on them.

Tina Korbe has announced the St Patrick’s day/ March madness document dump from the White House. There is the advance notice of proposed rule making on preventative services policy quietly slipped out on Friday night when no one is looking. You should have heard about this in normal news venues so that you could have an opportunity to comment on the HHS rules expanding the mandate for coverage of birth control, abortion, and sterilizations.
Obama and Sebelius really don’t want to consider your opinions, and this is the reason for dribbling out the news when everyone is ready for a party weekend.
Yes the expanded mandate will cover Sandra Fluke’s apparent wild sex life at the university. Student insurance will be required, that offers free birth control, abortions and sterilizations. The Universities will of course have to cover the insurance and pass the costs to the students as part of tuition and fees.

Why Sex Stopped Being FUN, and became a Job and a Human Right

Arizona Birth Control Bill Allows Employers To Fire Women On The Pill Based On Religious Beliefs – International Business Times.

Above is a  touch stone,  a  headline from International Business Times, making  a false claim about Arizona legislation which would make employer coverage of employees’ birth control optional.

This AZ house bill 2625  allows employers to avoid covering recreational use of hormones for birth control based on their religious beliefs.  Women can still get coverage for medical need for indications other than birth control.  This bill does not  give permission to employers to fire employees for use of birth control pills. If the woman is obtaining her own pills, it would be a violation of HIPAA regs for the employer to have the info, and a violation of a bunch of other laws for the employer to fire for that reason. Nice try. The IB Times needs to surrender to the fact that the “war on women” ploy is not working. Birth control pills are just too cheap to merit such a whine-fest. Go back to that other loser “abortion”.
The headline  is an example of how completely unreliable the mainstream press is, as well as the ACLU and Huffington Post.

There are  many heated debates  over whether employers and insurance companies should pay for birth control pills when used to prevent or stop  reproduction.

One of the commenting individuals expressed offense that Pharmer  used the term recreational drug to describe birth control  drugs, and recreational  sex to describe the kind people have when they don’t want to make babies.  Specifically the idea was introduced that sex,  with the desire to avoid reproduction,  is NOT  recreational.   Pharmer thinks that when sex stops being fun, it is time to quit. 

Sex becomes a job  or a human right when people want others to pay for it!!!   It rises to the level of a religious freedom issue.   If a person has a belief that their sex is NOT fun, and it is a ritual activity that has become a JOB, then others should  respect it as a human right under the first amendment and pay for it, even if that  practice violates their own religion.    It’s Sandra Fluke all over again, and  despite  this admission from the Left  that sex is not fun anymore,  Rush Limbaugh  got in trouble for saying that it was a Job for Sandra.

Eureka!   The  pattern is elucidated:   Recreation stops being recreation, or becomes an offensive term when people start wanting to be PAID for what should be considered FUN!! They turn it into a job, a  ritual, or a human right!

It’s ‘welfare’ gone WILD!!!

Blagojevich's Last Day of Freedom | NBC Chicago.

Blagojevich is remembered for his governor’s edict to force Illinois pharmacists to dispense ALL birth control drugs without delay, regardless of clinical (e.g. thromboembolic considerations) or conscientious (e.g. abortifacient properties) objections. Perhaps Obama and Sebelius, who are imposing more extreme mandates on insurance companies, and the health care industry, will eventually obtain a similar opportunity for meditation and reflection as has been afforded to Rod Blagojevich.

We Knew it All Along, Abortion Coverage Costs Insurance Enrollees $1 Per Month

Obama Admin Finalizes Rules: $1 Abortions in ObamaCare | LifeNews.com.

There is a governmental mandate for U.S. Citizens to purchase health care insurance, or else pay a fine which will increase over the years. The Supreme court is reviewing this mandate at the present time.

Obamacare will be forcing taxpayers into various insurance plans which may cover abortion. There will no opt out in the individual plans for those with religious objections to abortion. There is a separate one dollar fee to be paid per month to subsidize the abortion coverage, with no opportunity to opt out of that particular element of the plans.
People will be herded into this form of insurance as the various companies offering other options, are forced out of business by the onerous regulations imposed on them by Obamacare.

In addition, there is the brand new mandate for insurance companies to offer “free” birth control, which, of course will be covered by all who pay into the plans. The video below explains:

Obama and his media were expecting the women of the U.S. to fall at his feet with joy at the prospect of birth control, abortions and sterilizations funded by others. Recent polling shows a dip in his approval rating, suggesting that women are more interested in an end to the upward spiral of gas and energy costs.

War on Women

~ Pharmer

The Democrat party  has  conducted  a war on women, and is  projecting the blame on others similarly as in their war on minorities and their war on religion.

1) American lefties are supporting sex selection abortions, since the culling of girl babies from families generates abortion revenue.   The decision of a woman to kill her daughters and spare her sons is not to be infringed.

2) The lefties regulate  the population of their minority “voter stock” by abortion clinic placement and funding practices which has resulted in Blacks being aborted at almost 5 times, and Hispanics at 3 times the rate of Whites.

3) The Democrats  have not a word to say about the acquittal of the virginity testing docs in Egypt. There is total silence on this obvious violation of human rights. Testing virginity is a gratuitous vaginal entry which serves no medical purpose. As our Democrats look the other way, and Obama sends our tax money to the interim government there, the women who were violated by military virginity testers, including Dr. Ahmed Adel, have been thrown under the bus. The judicial decision amounts to a denial that the incidents ever occurred.

Using the already routine pre-abortion ultrasounds to inform women about her developing, unborn baby, before she decides to abort, is the leftist idea of rape. Since those ultrasounds area already a part of the procedure, it’s just the Virginia state requirement of  offering  information to the woman which has raised their cry of “rape”.

The Georgetown Birth Control Gurl, Sandra Fluke, has been compared to activists in Myanmar who have payed the price for their pro-democracy speech with long prison terms. At the women of the world summit, Hillary extolled women “who are assuming the risks that come with sticking your neck out, whether you are a democracy activist in Burma or a Georgetown law student in the United States.”
The ridiculousness of comparing Fluke, who is whining for free birth control, to women such as Zin Mar Aung, who spent years in jail just for writing a letter, is obvious to any sane person.

In the sclerotic brain of Hillary, our  desire not to have to pay for the birth control of college students at a $45,000 per year school, amounts to controlling women.

The leftist war on women, which they have  projected onto Republicans,  has allowed or fostered  the torture and killing of females, while profiting   from the mechanisms which are used  for increasing their  sexual availability.
