Fluke's testimony

“One woman told us that she knew birth control wasn’t covered on the insurance and she assumed that that’s how Georgetown’s insurance handle all of women’s reproductive and sexual health care. So when she was raped, she didn’t go to the doctor, even to be examined or tested for sexually transmitted infections, because she thought insurance wasn’t going to cover something like t...hat – something that was related to a woman’s reproductive health.
“As one other student put it: ‘This policy communicates to female students that our school doesn’t understand our needs.’

RL response:
A woman goes up to congressional committee and says: I'm having sex so damn much, I'm going broke.

ProFlowers stance:
It is a different "view" that they are willing to support with their advert dollars.
