Preserve women's right to birth control in AZ
Stop this assault on women's reproductive rights.
Why is this important?
A new bill in Arizona would require women who wish to have their contraception covered by their health insurance plans to prove to their employers that they are taking it to treat medical conditions. It will also make it legal for an employer to fire a woman for using birth control for non medical reasons.
This insult to women has already passed in the House. If passed, it is a giant step back. What is this, the Middle Ages? And are men going to have to prove that they have a medical need for Viagra?
Why is this the focus of our elected officials? Isn't the unemployment rate still at more than 8 percent?
