...the headline non-ironically reflected the views of columnist Craig Bannister, who in addition to being a big-time wingnut, clearly thinks of himself as a clever dog. Check this out:
A Georgetown co-ed told Rep. Nancy Pelosis hearing that the women in her law school program are having so much sex that theyre going broke, so you and I should pay for their birth control.
Apparently, four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that its hard to make ends meet if they have to pay for their own contraception, Flukes research shows.
Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school, Fluke told the hearing.
$3,000 for birth control in three years? Thats a thousand dollars a year of sex - and, she wants us to pay for it.

So, she earns enough money in just one summer to pays for three full years of sex. And, yes, they are full years - since she and her co-ed classmates are having sex nearly three times a day for three years straight, apparently.
He goes on in this vein for quite a bit longer, but you get the drift. This is a guy whose knowledge of birth control is limited to his research on condom prices at the CVS web site. And Im sure he wonders why women think they need to have a say on regulations governing contraception coverage. The only thing that surprises me is that he didnt also tell us about CVS prices on aspirin.

Warning: If you can't handle slut-shaming or mansplaining, do NOT read the CNSNews.com comment section! What else would you expect from a website founded by none other than that hyper-religious puritan Brent Bozo the Republiclown...sorry Brent Bozell?
