In a testimony before the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee,\u00a0 the 30-year-old Fluke explained that contraception could cost a law student $3,000 over three years. <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/pelosi-fluke-s-3000-contraception-testimony-factual-despite-9-month-birth-control-pills\">According to CNSNews.com<\/a>, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the testimony \u201cfactual.\u201d But the testimony wasn\u2019t factual, clearly showing Democrat\u2019s attempts to protect ObamaCare and the so-called \u201crights\u201d they believe the law upholds.<\/p>\n<p>In an article on March 5<sup>th<\/sup>, Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. of CNSNews.com presented findings about the cost of contraceptives around Georgetown. <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/9-price-months-supply-birth-control-pills-target-3-miles-georgetown-law\">You can read the article here<\/a>. Despite Fluke\u2019s testimony of contraceptives costing $3,000 over three years, Gwyn-Williams counters that the local Target store three miles from the law school, sells a month\u2019s supply of contraceptives for $9 to those whose insurance does not cover contraceptives. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/9-price-months-supply-birth-control-pills-target-3-miles-georgetown-law\">research<\/a> by CNSNews.com. if purchased at Target, a law student could buy three years of contraceptives for $324. That is a far cry from the so-called \u201cfactual\u201d testimony of Sandra Fluke.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/pelosi-fluke-s-3000-contraception-testimony-factual-despite-9-month-birth-control-pills\">CNSNews.com confronted Rep. Nancy Pelosi with these facts<\/a>, asking if Fluke\u2019s testimony \u201cwas accurate.\u201d In response, Pelosi said, \u201cI have a great deal of respect for the testimony that Sandra Fluke presented to Congress. She was factual, she was courageous and she made a difference in the debate and in the country, and we were honored by her presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Fluke\u2019s testimony before the all-Democratic panel was not accurate and factual. <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/9-price-months-supply-birth-control-pills-target-3-miles-georgetown-law\">Fluke even told the panel<\/a>, \u201cYou might respond that contraception is accessible in lots of other ways. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not true.\u201d CNSNews.com, however, <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/pelosi-fluke-s-3000-contraception-testimony-factual-despite-9-month-birth-control-pills\">has confirmed<\/a> that the local Target store pharmacy sells contraceptives for $9 a month and the CVS pharmacy even closer to the law campus has contraceptives for $33 a month.<\/p>\n<p>As demonstrated, Fluke\u2019s testimony was not accurate. Rep. Pelosi, however, called it \u201cfactual,\u201d clearly showing Pelosi is less interested in fact and more interested in protecting \u201crights\u201d that do not exist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, the name Sandra Fluke is familiar to many Americans.
