It may or may not surprise the readership here, but there was a time during which your scribe considered giving over the Nomex tuxedo for to go to law school. The University of Virginia being his target destination. But two roads diverged in a yellow wood, etc.
And that has made all the difference:
Speaking at a hearing held by Pelosi to tout Pres. Obama’s mandate that virtually every health insurance plan cover the full cost of contraception and abortion-inducing products, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said that it’s too expensive to have sex in law school without mandated insurance coverage.
Apparently, four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet if they have to pay for their own contraception, Fluke’s research shows.
“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception), Fluke reported.
It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.
“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,” Fluke told the hearing.
–
So, she earns enough money in just one summer to pays for three full years of sex. And, yes, they are full years – since she and her co-ed classmates are having sex nearly three times a day for three years straight, apparently.
Comjam, you never told me about that part.
I was just sifting through the news this morning and evidently Rush called this young woman a slut and people are up in arms. A spade’s a spade and all that… I had to laugh. I thought they need to come over here and see what’s been said.
Perhaps British med students are leading the way toward a workable solution for the poor unfortunates rutting their way through law school while being unduly penalized because heartless theocrats such as yours truly refuse to pay for their recreational prophylactics:
“Prostitution Attractive Option for Med Students with Debt”

It probably won’t catch on. Not, obviously, due to any moral objections on the part of the law students. But primarily due to the difference between dealing with potential doctors as opposed to potential lawyers. I just don’t think the the “johns” would be comfortable with or even willing to sign that 75 page contract prior to the rendering of services once they see all the fine print.
Ms. Fluke apparently has not adequately honed her research skills when trying to find sources of “cash for condoms.” She could have followed in the new tradition of Tulane students who have signed up to become “Sugar Babies.” That option should have easily scored enough perquisites to keep her satisfied. http://www.nola.com/education/index.ssf/2011/10/tulane_students_sign_on_as_sug.html
Honestly, when I was in law school a hundred years ago, having enough time (or energy) to have sex multiple times per day was a rare and beauteous thing.
Don’t you know her parents are sooooo proud of her!
