Is Fluke a Fluke?
Or mainstream? She supposes and proposes she speaks for the majority of women, at least at Georgetown and catholic schools like it.
But really, who does she speak for?

Her argument applies to those who (a) have a medical condition for which contraception was prescribed- who ALREADY have it covered if for a legitimate need like a hyperplasic endometrial condition- and (b) those who want to avoid unwanted pregnancy while having sex at the same time. She is not married.
All those who are not having sex (either they don't want to for reasons of prudence, principle or availability) , all those who don't have a prescribed medical uterine or female reproductive related condition, all those who are married and actually want children, please raise your hand. How many of you are those? Because I am guessing that this number at school is greater than the Fluke alleged majority. Like anyone who actually listened to your mother or anyone who decided law school was hard enough without sleeping with someone who didn't want kids-
I am guessing Georgetown admits pretty smart women. And I am guessing that a lot of them fall in the hand raised category.
So be careful there- you may be misanalyzing the demographics detrimentally. Some of us are actually insulted by the argument.
