I agree that providers should provide medications to treat whatever illness is covered, even with multi-purpose drugs. However I also believe these students should be able to obtain healthcare somewhere else.
It befuddles me that people working for a religious organization or attending a religious school believe the school should pay for something that is specifically barred in "the great book of the fake lord". Change school or get Georgetown to let you select a different provider.

The US is the only (WESTERN, first world) country that has the catholic church and other religious organizations trying to implement public policy for religious beliefs. At least that I am aware of.
Even in all the time I've spent in other countries, and talked to people in other countries....That entire concept is foreign to them. Only the US has the level of derp where churches get to try to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of the country.
As in example, here's a discussion with someone from a Catholic family in the Netherlands:
(Me) Is the Catholic Church over there "OMGWTFNO BIRTH CONTROL!!!" too, or is that US-centric?
The Catholic Church only approves of coitus interuptus and disapproves about all other birth control, hower you don't actually hear them about it.
I think they're like 'well you know what you think about it, decide if you burn in hell yourself or not'
(Me) As in, do they try to force legislation to be passed because of their "Religious beliefs"?
nope

First off no amount of irony makes statements that say that rape is deserved funny or clever.
I think that many religious insurance entities do actively block necessary use of birth control. I have had patients state that conditions like PCOS and endometriosis have been denied coverage even with documentation. Probably because they know that most patients don't have the knowledge/time/resources to fight them.
I also find their coverage of viagra/cialis etc somewhat hypocritical given that the majority of this coverage is for sexual purposes highly unlikely to produce conception given that most of these folks are older men(not all grant you)

Meanwhile, back on topic...
I'm betting that before almost every show, Rush and his producer plan at least one big moment "that will send the coastal fudge-packers into a hissy fit." This is how he keeps himself on the front page and in the ratings. I'll bet a big slice of his share is people listening in so that he can **** them off. Whether he believes it is irrelevant - he's been front-page for days now, and his ratings probably spiked.
If the rest of the media ignored him, maybe he would take his gazillion dollars, go play bad golf somewhere obscure, and fade away with the rest of the flat-earthers.

Is Rush relevant??? Absolutely. He's relevant for the same reasons that politicians hire a team to select bands to perform at their clan rallies.
The woman in question put herself on television and chose weak talking points. Her complaints about Limbaugh are strategic and calculated, both sides choreographed this. We're talking about a Polosi puppet vs. a narco-abusing self-loather from the GOP. The minute the Dems selected a Jr. reproductive-rights attorney to discuss need for multi-use medication, they failed. A Doctor of Osteopathy would have been much more effective and relevant for this argument.
