step 1: Enroll in a highly religious catholic school
Step 2: break their religious beliefs, have sex and complain about not having free birthcontrol
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: get famous, get attention, get free monies and birth control, personal life gets better with no effort; profit.

Yes, it is. But not like you think it is.
My memory is a little rusty, but from what I remember, Fluke was not talking about herself, but her friend. Her friend, who was perscribed birth control by a doctor for treatment for a disease, not for birth control.
But the media has somehow blown this up into "Sandra Fluke wants you to pay for her birth control" dispite the fact that IT WASN'T FOR HER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So made up hollywood bullshit? I couldn't have described it any better myself.
Either that, or you guys are just trolling us left-leaners here. Which was my first assumption, because I didn't think anyone was that stupid.

A lot of folks might, at this point, say something like "I would tear her in half" or some similar euphemism for rough sex.
Personally, I'd treat her with respect, buy her nice things, settle down in the suburbs with her, be supportive of her career, produce a few kids and ensure that they grow up right, and live out our sunset years together traveling North America by road.

Joe, I just dont see it.
Honestly, I think Ms. Gay 2000 is more attractive.
What I do see is a striking similarity to Justice Kagan:

georgetown is a catholic school what?
true story: they have a y8s fieldhouse. i have not checked if I get privileges.
the whole "religious institutions can do whatever they want" thing is silly. catholic hospitals should provide birth control because they should provide the same standard of care as any other hospital.
because if not that, then why not "prescription: WE PRAY FOR YOU" and see how that goes instead of medicine and surgery. I mean that's what the True Believers really think, isn't it? That the lord will fix what ails you. Like unlimited miscarriages for Sandra Fluke and her loose loins.

i dont even believe that was the argument.
they provide contraceptives, its just not part of the student's school issued insurance/health plan.
purchase insurance outside of the school (sucks youre over 25 years old) and get "free" contraceptives. Or go to Target or Walmart, or planned parenthood or walgreens, or rite aid, or cvs...

First of all, the birth control was not for her, but for her friend.
Second of all, it wasn't for contraceptive purposes, it was for medical purposes, and was prescribed by a doctor as a treatment.
If you are going to tell someone they don't know what the argument is about, you should probably actually know yourself.

Yes. Georgetown is a private Jesuit and Catholic university, founded by bishop John Carroll and other local clergy in 1789. Its charter and student handbook both make various references to the Catholic faith. Jesuit & Catholic Identity - Georgetown University
So, if a Mormon owns a convenience store, he must be forced to sell liquor in order to provide the same standard of convenience as a store owned by any other person? If the catholic church owns a grocery store, they must be forced to sell condoms for the same reason?
I don't buy this argument one bit.
No, that particular doctrine (reject modern medicine in favor of faith healing) is unique to the "Church of Christ, Scientist" (aka, the Christian Science Church) which is a minority sect founded in 1879. While not nearly as overtly radical, some comparisons have been made between this church and the Scientology movement.
