If Arizona republicans get their way, pending legislation would make it "a little bit more uncomfortable for women" seeking coverage for birth control.
The law would allow employers who have religious or moral objections to birth control, the right to refuse coverage via their health plans. However, those employers would be required to provide birth control coverage for other medical reasons IF the woman is able to explain why she needs it to that employer.
What. The. FUCK?
Governor Jan Brewer says "(But) I certainly would probably agree with the majority of people that would be a little bit uncomfortable for a woman to have to go to her employer and tell him or her their private health issues."
Um, yeah, you think?
The bill has passed a Senate committee and the House, and is currently going through a legal review in the Senate before it comes up for a full vote. Ms. Brewer hasn't decided whether she'll sign the bill into law, if and or when it makes to her desk.
