>Not excusing anybody's behavior, but somebody who chooses to attend a Catholic University and then lobbies for it to be forced to provide her with contraceptives, is a bit like somebody purchasing land next to a runway and then lobbying for planes to be banned because they're so noisy. If you know the conditions when you choose to go someplace, then you gotta show some "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" common sense. Nobody is forcing anybody to go to Rome and people in the US have a dizzying array of university choices to suit every taste. Also we should remember that students have a long and glorious history of attention-seeking rebellion for its own sake. Surely nobody really believes that students in Catholic universities need free contraceptives from the faculty or babies will be bursting out of the cloisters. So let them have their fun, then get on with important business.

I keep hoping people will figure out this isn't about sex and babies - it's about women's health.
