Access to contraception: moving the goal posts March 22, 2012 8:09 am TB

Actually, it’s more like tearing up the goal posts and running around the field with them.

On Tuesday, Fluke spoke at an event at the U.S. Capitol in celebration of women’s history month. After the event, CNSNews.com asked Fluke: “Were you aware of the Target store that’s 3 miles from Georgetown Law that sells a month’s supply of birth control pills for $9 a month without insurance coverage? Were you aware of that?”

Fluke said: “So, I’m not familiar with specific department store policies. I know that some generic forms of contraception are less expensive than others and that that has been widely reported. But what has not been widely reported is that many women cannot use those forms of contraception.”

“Women have different types of medical needs that require much more expensive forms,” she said. “One woman contacted me. She was very, very upset that that quote was being emphasized because she has a genetic condition that requires her to use contraception that costs $1,500.”

Another link on this here.

So now the “War On Women” seems to be only on the set of women who voluntarily work with religious organizations who have genetic conditions requiring an expensive form of the very few medical items religious organizations don’t support.
