He didn't call her a slut. He said why should we pay for birth control for women to go slutting around. I have to agree with him. I think birth control is a personal responsibility and you should have to pay for it yourself. I also think that Georgetown student is an idot for saying birth control costs around $3,000 a year. I would love to know what she uses that would cost that much a year.
Just want to clarify a few things. He did call her a slut and a prostitute but that's irrelevant the point.
First, this was NEVER about Fluke herself - she never talked about her sex life or her birth control needs.
Second, no one is paying for her birth control other than herself. If you read her testimony, that would be pretty clear.
Quote - "We expected that when 94 percent of students opposed the policy, the university would respect our choices regarding insurance students pay for completely unsubsidized by the university."

Also, this was never about sex - she was talking about her friend's medical condition which required prescription birth control.
"A friend of mine, for example, has polycystic ovarian syndrome, and she has to take prescription birth control to stop cysts from growing on her ovaries."
Lastly, she never said birth control costs 3000$ a year.
"Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that's practically an entire summer's salary. Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they've struggled financially as a result of this policy."
