The Blaze‘s Will Cain Confronts Sandra Fluke and Her ’Logic’ on CNN

Sandra Fluke, the darling of the leftist perspective in America’s never-ending contraceptive debate, had a busy morning.
First, she had an op-ed published on CNN.com, in which she defended many of the same stances she‘s reiterated before on the women’s rights front (the piece was entitled, “Slurs Won’t Silence Women”). Then, she appeared on the network, where she was greeted with a head-to-head match by The Blaze’s Will Cain.
The two, of course, didn’t agree on much. Cain, for instance, attempted to focus upon the real issue he sees at the center of the debate — government mandates versus private institutions making their own determinations about health care coverage. In beginning of his dialogue with Fluke, Cain looked for common ground (via Mediaite):
“You used this word several times, ‘access.’ I hope you and I can agree on one term of this debate. And that is that no one is attempting to ban contraception or limit access and make it illegal for women to have this! The debate is about who should be providing it, who should be paying for it. Should employers determine what is involved in their compensation, determined in their health care benefits or should the government make certain requirements of employers? Can we agree that that is what this debate is about?”
Of course, “agree” was not something Fluke was willing to do so quickly.
“Well, not exactly,” she countered. “I think there are multiple ways to limit access. Certainly making something illegal would be the most extreme form, but not covering it as a health care benefit the way other types of health care benefits are covered is another way to limit access and that’s what many women across the country are currently experiencing when they — even if they have insurance, co pays, can be as high as $50 a month, which is significant for a woman not making a lot of money.”
Cain then took aim at this explanation, questioning whether other elements — like gym memberships — would also fall under Fluke’s definition of “health care benefits.”
Watch the Cain versus Fluke discussion, below:
Following Fluke’s appearance, CNN host Soledad O‘Brien railed against Cain’s analogy about gym membership, calling it a “flawed analogy.” Cain, though, defended his comments against her assault. CNN cut this portion out of the above clip.
Below, see the video in its entirety, with the O’Brien portion coming in around 4:40:

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:54amwhat is wrong with including gym membership? Isn’t that a health benefit? Also, the Dr who wrote the note is absolutely right. The cost will be disbursed, and if the government really cared about women’s health-they wouldn’t be talking about cutting much needed screenings and exams for women. I see it as a way for them to say, here’s birth control-it should take care of your woman problems, therefore money doesn’t need to be spent (or as they might put it) wasted on screenings and treatments, but if it does, the women will have to pay. I really think there is an alternative somewhere and that it will be bad.

“FORMERLIB…what do you mean “our refusal to pay for her birth control”? Are you either the Catholic Church or a health insurer?”
What he/she mean Lumbar Spine (more accurately “spineless’) is that nothing is free. When the government forces a company, in this case health insurers, to provide a service or product for “free” the insurer/company doesn’t take it out of their own pocket they just pass the cost on to their customers. This means “WE” as customers of health insurers then have to pay higher premiums for this new “free” service on behalf of other customers who refuse to pay for their own contraceptives.
I’ll bet you think food stamps are paid for with “Free Obama Money” or “fairy dust” too, they are not, that money comes from tax payers who have to pay their own way and then are also forced to pay for leftist freeloaders who think they are ENTITLED to other peoples money and to have their lives paid for by others. I‘m sure this doesn’t bother you because you are no doubt that 47% who don’t pay Federal income taxes, but does get subsidized in all kinds of ways by money stolen by government from the producers (tax payers) so it can be spent on you. LEECH!

All of these are well lower than the $50 a month she gives in the video. The price she is giving is for nigh top shelf versions, not generic alternatives. So not only should woman have access to birth control (which they do), they should get the more expensive at a lower price equal to the generic… Then why offer a generic version?
What of the jobs lost? Who will pay the name brand versions for the cut in price?

Why should an employer or insurer have to provide a one size fits all plan?
Employers provide insurance to get around liberal wage & price freezes of WWII.
IMO employers should pay a wage& people can shop for their own benefits. Conservatives might form mutual aid societies bases on profession, religion or ethnicity as was done in the past if the private insurers are not good enough. I joined a mutual aid society in the recent past.
As a liberal you should find a patron to make decisions for you. The Democrat politician could act like a Roman patron in the way he treated a commoner or a recently released slave. Of the Democrat politician could act like a Scottish Lord/Laird & threat his clansmen like children.

So someone else needs to step up & pay for me to have it, so I can have access” That’s very flawed logic because that would mean someone else somewhere has the basic or inherent obligation to provide it. But it‘s not a basic or inherent human or woman’s right. It‘s our right to be free to pursue contraception but it’s not our right to be provided a product or service based on our choices. It‘s also not a woman’s health issue because having sex without getting pregnant is not mandatory for a woman to survive & live. It’s a choice.

Trolls are likely Monicne and Encinom (look at the names…) and Spank’s sock puppet, Sock_Monkey.
As for the topic at hand, meh. I don’t think the issue at hand is religious freedom; making your insurance cover contraceptives is the same degree of separation as making an employee spend their paycheck on it (perhaps even more, as the employee has to pay for her insurance premium as well). The big issue is obviously Obamacare’s health mandate, which is forcing all insurance companies to cover a baseline of care (like contraceptives). As all citizens will need to be insured in the next few years, the only groups being forced against their wills to provide birth control are Christian (sorry, Catholic; most Christians aren’t opposed to birth control) insurance companies.
I feel social conservatives should join us, their fiscal brethren, in pointing out the actual issue: Obamacare’s Unconstitutional basis in forcing insurance upon all citizens. The religious freedom argument is a non-starter… especially with candidates like Santorum saying he’d let states vote to ban birth control. Doesn’t mesh well with most people and is easy fodder for the Dems.

Nope. Unlike other antisemites here, I agree with some of your positions (such as pointing out the atrocities that Israel has committed against Palestinian civilians). However, you constantly put forward that there is a global Zionist conspiracy attempting to uproot America, and you make interchangeably use Zionist and Jew. That’s the part I say makes you anti-Semitic. I don‘t think you’re a troll however.

Good argument! And I agree to an extent; the left has made this a false argument about “women’s rights” to counter the false argument from the right that it’s about “religious freedom.” Both ignore the actual issue: the lack of Constitutional grounding for mandatory, government-mandated health insurance. Both sides’ positions are false.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 7:35pmThe issue is of individual liberty. The Church cried foul, in the defense of the religious institution of Georgetown University, attempting to make the argument that their religious conviction was violated by the government forcing them to not refuse access, through it’s offered health care plans, hormonal contraception. The Church lost the First Amendment argument because the government has no authority to force the Churches religious convictions to apply to individuals seeking access to legally established medical benefits. The religious institution must offer a health care plan that includes hormonal contraception or it denies access by legal definition. If that plan differs in cost then either the insurer or the individual should make up the difference. In many cases the insurer may find that offering hormonal contraception is an overall cost reduction considering the alternative. $1000 in pills or the cost of delivering a child. Frankly I‘m surprised the insurer isn’t passing them out like tic tac’s.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 8:34pmMs. Fluke has her logic backwards (as is usually the case with liberals). Not providing contraception under health care does not limit access; instead, providing it increases access.
Her logic says that your access to any product or service is being limited if it isn’t provided for free. Classic entitlement mentality.

Of course no one from the GOP, the church or anywhere else is trying to eliminate contraceptives or deny them to anyone, they are just saying that like any other product if you want it then FREAKING go out and buy it with your own money rather than thinking government can mandate that others have to pay for it for you!

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:31amI wonder why they didn‘t point out that she’s being booked and represented by Anita Dunn’s PR firm SKDKnickerbocker. You remember Anita, the former White House Communications Director for Obama, who proclaimed Mao as a major influence of hers growing up until she had to resign. Ms Dunn’s husband, as it turns out, is Robert Bauer, former chief White House Legal Counsel and still Obama’s personal attorney. If anyone thinks the White House is not involved in this up to Obama’s barn door ears is either a moron or a Democrat.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:17amThe Washington Post polls are saying this issue is not showing that women are rushing to Obama’s side on this. The scam isn’t working.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 4:54pmShe’s still listed as a “student” in the Georgetown University’s electronic student directory. I just checked. So no, while we can all see that she’s obviously not studying, she’s not a “former” student.
As a Georgetown graduate myself, I’m sure all the REAL law-students there at Georgetown, who don’t have “public interest scholarships” and are thus going hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt, are studying their brains out while this s lu t tramps all over the airwaves… they must really appreciate the fact that she’ll nonetheless be graduating just like they will… the libs call that “fairness.”

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:14amI guess she has so many sexual partners she needs help. Help the poor woman before she comes down with so many sexual transmitted diseases. I guess she could move to Nevada and get help like the rest of the prostitutes.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:22amHow do you know how many sexual partners Ms. Fluke has had? How could you possibly know that? You are aware, aren’t you, that oral contraceptives are taken by women every day regardless whether they have sex every day or once a year?
Report Post »ThankYouFounders
Posted on March 13, 2012 at 12:05pmLumbar. It’s pretty easy actually. She estimated it was costing $3,000 for contraception throughout three years of law school.
Based on the cost of condoms and the pill, this means she’d have to have sex three times a day for three years to spend this much money.
This is what spurred the slut comment.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:23amSort of a good analogy.
Joe the Plumber and the Right want less government intervention and the ability to keep more of the money we earn.
Sandara Fluke and the Left want the government to control peoples lives and to steal money from people who earn it and hand it to people who don’t earn it under the guise of “access” or “entitlements”.
