Arizona wades into contraception controversy

The Arizona Senate is considering a bill that would give all businesses the option to exclude contraceptives from health insurance coverage. The only exception is if a woman can prove she is taking the contraceptives for other medical reasons.

Supporters say such a law would protect the religious beliefs of employers, while critics assert the tradeoff would be an affront to the liberties of employees.

You're avoiding the question. Answer mine and I'll answer yours.

Sorry. I read your reply on my phone and I did not read it closely enough.

The Arizona bill is not just talking about religious employers. It's talking about all employers. I'm sure some of them would be happy to cook up an objection if it saved them a couple dollars.

I will have to consider your conundrum further, but it's asinine that people take on the position that OMG BIRTH CONTROL IS AGAINST GOD except for me because I'm special. After all, most women have used some form of contraception.
