According to Fluke, "[w]ithout insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school." Law school is a 3 year program, so this means she claims to be paying $1000/year on contraception, or about $83/month.
The high-end estimate for birth control according to Planned Parenthood? $50 (http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/birth-control-pill-4228.htm). It's more likely that the cost would be closer to the lower number, and that's just for the pill. Condoms are cheaper. An IUD would last that long and then some for 10% of the cost. Etc etc.
