For Sandra Fluke, an America where Mitt Romney is president is entirely incompatible with women’s rights, according to her speech during the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night.
Fluke, the Georgetown law student who achieved 15 minutes of fame by asking the government to pay for her contraceptives, apparently thinks rights are centered around the government subsidizing women instead of trusting them to have the brains to figure out their own financial future.
But for Fluke, an administration that seeks women’s well-being by informing them about all the risks of abortion before they decide to have one and that doesn’t believe that religious institutions should have to violate their beliefs in order to provide what they consider morally compromised health insurance, would be returning to an, “offensive, obsolete relic of our past.”
Fluke’s free-America is an America where citizens have to pay for the life choices of others, even if they disagree with them. An America where women are talked into the life-changing decision of abortion without any education or information about the negative consequences.
What Fluke wants, in her own words, is, “a country where we mean it when we talk about personal freedom,” not, “one where that freedom doesn’t apply to our bodies or to our voices.”
It looks like Fluke needs a few lessons on what freedom looks like.
Because at the moment, she’s looking forward to an America where women need the government to tell them what to do and how to behave with no choice or information, instead of a government that trusts women to make their own informed and independent choices. And the worst part? She’s calling it freedom.
About Regina Conley
This is the new face of the Democrat party. Her views are offensive to many, including some Democrats, but the Sandra Fluke’s of this country don’t view their whining and begging at the government trough as anything but their rights. Perhaps, a month or two spent in the Middle East might enlighten her as to what is truly a War on Women. I will gladly donate to get Ms. Fluke all the contraceptives she needs however, if she promises to use them faithfully until she is too old to reproduce.
Fluke does not speak for me or anyone I know. I am ashamed that she is a woman. Her 15 minutes of fame does not include marching around telling everyone who will stand still for a moment that “women” want other women to play for their contraceptives.
Not only is it not true but she and the Democrat’s are fabricating lies about what the Republicans are doing regarding health care and women in general. Republican’s simply say no more abortions on demand. That does not mean no more abortions period, it means no more abortions because the sex of the child does not please you, or using abortions as your birth control method, or abortions after the first trimester unless it jeopardizes the health of the mother.
It takes nothing away from you getting birth control, it simply means you are responsible for paying for it yourself. At $9.00 a month from Walmart it certainly does not seem that large of an expense compared to paying for your own abortion.
That is in essence what Fluke wants. For all of us to pay for the abortions of others. I say NO, not with my taxpayer money you don’t!
Exactly! From many of us women who refuse to reduce ourselves to the sum of our reproductive organs, we thank you, Regina!
