I just heard her say Romney is a coward that's afraid to confront the extreme words of his own party.
Excuse me Mrs Payformyrubberssoicanfuckalot Fluke but Romney soundly told Akin to get out.
I really have no respect for puppets
Wow! Sexist much!????? Sandra Fluke NEVER said she needed contraceptives so she could have unlimited sex. She said women need them for many medical reasons. Yikes!
What medical reasons? Why should the government have cradle to grave?
Many women use birth control pills for things other than pregnancy prevention. Here is a portion of an article written by Rebecca Wind on November 15, 2011 .
“The most common reason U.S. women use oral contraceptive pills is to prevent pregnancy, but 14% of pill users—1.5 million women—rely on them exclusively for noncontraceptive purposes. The study documenting this finding, “Beyond Birth Control: The Overlooked Benefits of Oral Contraceptive Pills,” by Rachel K. Jones of the Guttmacher Institute, also found that more than half (58%) of all pill users rely on the method, at least in part, for purposes other than pregnancy prevention—meaning that only 42% use the pill exclusively for contraceptive reasons.
“The study—based on U.S government data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)—revealed that after pregnancy prevention (86%), the most common reasons women use the pill include reducing cramps or menstrual pain (31%); menstrual regulation, which for some women may help prevent migraines and other painful “side effects” of menstruation (28%); treatment of acne (14%); and treatment of endometriosis (4%). Additionally, it found that some 762,000 women who have never had sex use the pill, and they do so almost exclusively (99%) for noncontraceptive reasons.”

Here is another article, this one written by Janis Graham (featured in Redbook Magazine) which tells how oral contraceptives (OC) can greatly reduce the risk of cancer:
“Taking oral contraceptives (OCs) can slash your risk for both endometrial and ovarian cancer by more than 70 percent after 12 years; even just one to five years may lower your risk by 40 percent. They work by reducing the number of times you ovulate in your lifetime: Ovulation may trigger cell changes in the ovaries that can lead to cancer. If you're worried about using the Pill for too long, relax. "You can safely take the Pill for 20 years or more," says Stephanie Teal, M.D., director of family planning at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver. Barring health issues, the only reason to stop is if you want to get pregnant.”
According to the author, other benefits of OC include clearer skin; lighter, less painful periods; PMS relief; and Endometriosis relief. The rest of the article can be found at the following link.
