At the August 8, 2012 rally in Denver featuring Sandra Fluke and President Obama, many women came out to hear Obama’s support for government-mandated birth control coverage.
Caleb Bonham interviewed a few attendees, asking the question: “Why should government pay for what goes on inside the bedroom?”
Some of the answers are shocking and hilarious.
Here’s one typical exchange (starting at 0:33):
Woman: I’m, like, all for abortion and I’m all for birth control.
Bonham: So you don’t think the government should be involved in what goes on inside the bedroom, correct?
Woman: Oh, exactly. Not even close.
Bonham: So then why do you expect the government to pay for what goes on inside the bedroom?
Woman: [Long pause] Uh, because….
Welcome to Flukonomics!
(Note: Even though I support abortion rights, I oppose government funding of birth control or abortion.)

Good one, Paul!! FINALLY…someone figured it out!
(Hey, is that blue feather duster some sort of sex toy?)
How about that girl who thinks poor women should have abortions. Translation, don’t pay to feed hungry babies but pay for my birth control.
To be fair, if poor women shouldn’t be allowed to have children, then sluts who can’t afford birth ccontrol should not be allowed to have sex. A condom costs less than a dollar ladies. Other forms of birth control are reasonably affordable too, or at least they were before $0 copays, now the pharmaceutical companies can charge as much as they desire because the cost will be invisibly socialized into the insurance pool causing premiums to rise, meaning it will cost more to buy health insurance for my children that apparently I should have aborted. Thanks sluts. If you can’t afford your birth control, then shut your legs. I have to pay copays for my children’s medicine, why should you get your slut pills for free? Oh right I forgot, I should have murdered them in my womb, silly me, I forgot, then I would not have to worry about those copays on you know important things like antibiotics and epipens.
I think it is about time the government gets out of our bedrooms, our kitchens, our bathrooms, our gas tanks, our light fixtures, our thermostats, our wallets, and our consciences.
Maybe if we ask them nicely and explain it to them logically, they’ll see the error of their ways and do that, right?
What difference does any of this pointless theater make? Do you think you’ll convince these people of anything? Obviously the federal government should not be involved with it, nor should they be allowed to get away with a zillion other things. And? Pointing that out and objecting to it will only encourage more of it.
Oh, right, kind of like how we should never offend the muslims so they don’t strap on a bomb and blow something up. We should just surrender and let it take over. Isn’t there a word for that, dhimmitude maybe?
For the gullible who think society should have a safety net AND that it can be controlled…well, here’s why you don’t let GOVERNMENT run the safety net.
“Charity” and “welfare” (formerly called “relief”) are as different as Murder One and Justifiable self-defense; they look alike but are actually light-years apart.
Why should I pay for some woman’s sex life if I don’t get to participate in it?
Believe me,,,you don’t want to in either case.
we keep hearing how polygamy is wrong, and yet here we have the government with millions of concubines. perhaps we should expand the meaning of marriage even further, to include this unholy union as well. personally i doubt any righteous deity would have much to do with today’s typical ’3 and out’ marriages anyway. but there could be one giant white wedding, resided over by the great interceptor. we’ve got enough empty gov. buildings to probably house most of them. free stuff all ’round. they could all write home and tell mama and papa how they have found a husband, a strong arm to support them in times of greed, namely uncle (sugar) sam.
however, now that i study it more, its really not that much different than what we have now.
Every time I see Fluke’s picture I become more perplexed as to why a double bagger like her would need access to contraceptives in the first place. Must be a lot of hard up guys back there in Georgetown.
Alcohol… lots and lots of alcohol, although I don’t think I could drink enough to make her look good without blacking out!
I’m pretty much a live and let live kind of guy, but I fail to see why I should be forced to pay (through taxes and higher premiums) for some stupid wench’s contraception. I am especially offended at helping pay for the barbaric abomination of abortion on demand. A rose by any other name would be called cold-blooded murder.
