The Arizona legislature is actually arguing in favor of a bill that would require women who are on the pill to explain to their bosses why they’re taking it. If it’s for birth control, health insurance coverage would be a no-no.

One psychotic Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, author of Arizona House Bill 2625, said, “I believe we live in America. We don’t live in the Soviet Union,” Lesko said. “So, government should not be telling the organizations or mom and pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs."
This bill has already passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, so I believe it next goes to the Senate for a floor vote.
I have a little assignment for you, dear readers, if you will indulge me. I have included a link to a listing of AZ State Senators and Reps, and, a link to all Arizona zip codes. First, print out the zip code listing available through the second link, just to have it handy before you make the call, in case they ask for your zip code. Next, please just call the office of every Republican on the list found through the first link and tell them to vote "No".

Tell them that you are VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED to the passage of this legislation, HB2625.
If this bill passes, I can almost guarantee that Virginia will be next, and every other Bible-toting freakish wingnut state.
Women's rights are systematically being ripped away, ladies. At an alarming rate.
