The Guttmacher Institute is always a good place to start but any recognized health institution could also be cited.

Here's a few to get the ball rolling:

• Virtually all women (more than 99%) aged 15–44 who have ever had sexual intercourse have used at least one contraceptive method.[2]

• Overall, 62% of the 62 million women aged 15–44 are currently using a method.

And?

She's paying, probably a minimal amount, for a policy that covers some items and not others. Getting a private policy is too expensive, not an option. Going to a different school wasn't acceptable. Going to PP or another subsidized source isn't good enough. It's her way or no way. We'll see how other students react if Georgetown ends up canceling insurance for students.

OK, now I really don't expect you to know why Fluke does what she does.

But, how about this question? For the sake of asking.

If Fluke is smart enough to get into law school, why did she decide to go to a Catholic University? Which Georgetown is.

As smart as Fluke is, she had to know that Georgetown wouldn't provide contraception.

Maybe she thought they had the best program for her.

Why would you argue with children of welfare babies that believe the world owes them a living?

Now I'll do the math for you since your mathematical skills are also lacking.

62 million x .07 = 4.34 million.

There's 313,000,000 people in America.

That's 1.38% of the population who "are at risk for unintended pregnancy."

Do I send my bill to WV caves?
No you can keep your smarmy math (and your lying) all to yourself. We're having none of it. Cement in precedent about groups deciding person choices whose consequences are only born on themselves, not on all others deciding, I suppose predatory legislation would see the wisdom behind castrating all NC males. You're offensive to my religious beliefs, and most importantly, I feel you're a grave threat to national security. We need a new Tory Tree. Hang em high, heads or tails, all the same to me as I amuse myself with a bag of popped corn from the sidelines.

Ain't love thy neighbor grand?

That insurance policy isn't paid by Georgetown out of the goodness of their heart. The insurance companies need to quit going through the structure of Georgetown BS and have private insurance set at the same premiums they'd charge large groups like Georgetown has set itself up to broker. I seriously doubt the administrative costs associated with having Georgetown standing in the middle is helpful to anyone's bottom line.

No individuals have the right to obstruct the purchase of an insurance policy. Look who is standing in the way and why. It's all hokum they puffed up out of thin air but every single argument they've put forth ought to be applied directly to themselves in spades via the government forcing religious charities to scrutinize where their donations are coming from. If they fail to be meet the criteria of honestly earned money catechism compliant, they must ON RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLE reject that money.

I'm not a pedophile, but somehow, every dollar thrown in the basket to support the Church also pays the tab for a pedophile. We're not going to do that purist principle math? Isn't that curious.

Males should be prohibited from having insurance policies applicable to themselves. We'll have coverage for their lactation coaches & estrogen replacement therapy to compensate for their defective female handicap. It's all I feel they deserve. On religious grounds, of course. Self worshiping religions come in handy, now, don't they?

Then because of the bad publicity on Obama being someone who wipes his butt with the Constitution, he's going to lose the election in Novermber. Then all of you entitled people are really going to be upset. Violent I would guess. It's a real shame.
The mandate is a Republican idea. Always was. I would find it odd that a predominantly Conservative Court would overturn such a conservative-friendly idea as the mandate.

The mandate does the opposite of what you are saying. IT REQUIRES THAT EVERYONE PAYS INTO THE SYSTEM. How does that translate in your mind that someone else should pay for Ms. Flukes health care, or mine? She PAYS for her tuition. She PAYS for healthcare insurance. Soon
EVERYONE will be PAYING.

HOW DOES EVERYONE PAYING IN TO THE SYSTEM TRANSLATE TO FREE ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY?

I keep hearing vague talk from right-wingers about violating the constitution. What article? And how exactly has he violated the Constitution?
