Mark Steyn’s post, although depressingly post-apocalyptic, is still a joy to read

Here are some gems from Mark Steyn’s post about Sandra Fluke’s vision of a binary America, one that has abortioned women frolicking freely through fields of flowers, and another that has them barefoot, pregnant, wrapped in a burqa, and hiding in the kitchen.  You’ve got to read the whole thing, though.

Sandra Fluke is one of them. She completed her education a few weeks ago — at the age of 31, or Grade 25. Before going to Georgetown, she warmed up with a little light B.S. in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Cornell. She then studied law at one of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, where tuition costs 50 grand a year. The average starting salary for a Georgetown Law graduate is $160,000 per annum — first job, first paycheck.

It’s showing up whatever happens in November. All the election will decide is whether America wants to address that reality, or continue to live in delusion — like a nation staggering around with a giant condom rolled over its collective head.

For one thing, it’s a striking feature of the Age of Perfected Liberalism that modern liberals talk about sex 24/7 while simultaneously giving off the persistent whiff that the whole thing’s a bit of a chore. Hence, the need for government subsidy.
