Georgetown University is a Jesuit University, they follow the Catholic Doctrine of no contraception for the purpose of inhibiting procreation. They also pay about 80% (just a guess, but it seems about right) of the cost of healthcare coverage from an insurance complany while the insuree payes the remainder on a monthly basis. That cost is there whether the insurance is used or not. The US Federal Government is mandating that these insurance complanies provide contraception as part of thier coverage, which in turn makes thier policys cost more to the employer, which means that even if its never used, Georgetown University is paying for contraception for any purpose. Sandra Fluke went in front of Congress to advocate this purpose for a more noble purpose of preventing ovarian cysts, I applaud her cause, but belive its not the Feds place.
