ORIGINAL: Edwynn If you actually took the post in question at face value, which other responses (or lack therefrom, from an otherwise historically opportunisticĀ audience) indicate that most did not, and your latest response indicates that you actually did ... Then again I say; sorry you missed it. I don't know what you are sorry about. You are assigning motivations and making assumptions about and regarding Ms. Fluke, hence what you offer is simply your own opinion. I get your opinion. I have a different opinion. Your contention seems to be that what she did is sneaky and underhanded. I disagree. I think that the fact that you even know about such things comes about from her own disclosures on the subject which rather puts to bed the notion that she was sneaky or underhanded. She was forth coming and honest about her motivations. It's not like she pulled a Weiner or something. She wants to affect change. If she succeeds, kudo's to her for the effort. If she doesn't, kudos to her for trying. I didn't actually read the transcript of her testimoney because I watched it live but she seemed to be matter of fact and spoke about birth control for both prevention of reproduction and for medical reasons due to endometriosis etc. Endometriosis, regulating cycles are reason enough that the meds should be free. If we are talking cost, birth control is much more cost effective than either abortions or actually giving birth and raising a child to majority and birth control pills are an invaluable and oftentimes only medical resource that is cost effective to treat some of the ailments I've mentioned. The whole congressional session was a mock session in any event. I don't believe the young lady should have been barred from the original session in Congress. If they had let her speak, the only ones who would even known who she is would be people like me who have no life so watch that sort of thing on CSPAN. So, again.. I 'got' your opinion. I just disagree with your assessment. Sorry you don't, won't or can't 'get' that.
