When seeing Ms. Fluke's testimony bemoaning claims that women law students at Georgetown Law were unable to afford the supposed $3,000 cost of birth control......I thought her media critics really missed the boat on the pathetic argument she presented as a future graduate of one of the nation's most prestigious law schools.

When it costs $70,500 total for one year of Georgetown Law and students are borrowing heavily to fund this, how can they claim with a straight face that borrowing a supposed $1,000 per year more is a deal breaker that "would make it financially impossible to continue in school"?????

Good grief. When you're spending $70,500 per year to get the law degree, wouldn't it make sense to borrow the money to pay for your own birth control, to "self-insure" oneself against unwanted pregnancy???

I thought Fluke's was an argument so weak that it was what a high-school mock-trial student would come up with.
