If Georgetown takes money from the government - and they do - then they should be forced to the same standards as all the other non religious universities.

Georgetown does offer its employees a policy that covers birth control, the policy for the students does not. Keep in mind that this is insurance students pay for – completely unsubsidized by the university. In fact many Catholic institutions offer insurance that covers contraception. I think its difficult for them to then take the "high moral ground" when in reality they are already paying for birth control for the faculty.

And she didn't say birth control cost $3,000 a year, she was quoted as saying "Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school". It takes several years to complete law school.

I really don't understand the republican mind set. You don't want insurance companies to pay for birth control and then you don't want social assistance provided when these people have kids. Your only alternative is abstinence, a policy that has never worked in human history. Conservatives think its wrong to kill a fetus but have no problem shitting all over the kid once its brought into the world.

Its a shame more women don't stand up for their own self interest.

And Rush is an asshole. I find it to be the height of hypocrisy to call her a slut just because she wants birth control. This is the same guy that was nailed by US Customs after returning from the Dominican Republic for having Viagra on him that was prescribed to someone else.
