Did No One See This?!

Not only would the bill grant employers the right to pry into a woman’s (and only a woman’s) medical history, it would give them opportunity to fire women for simply having a sex life. Imagine this conversation:

EMPLOYER: Um, Lisa, I see here that you have a prescription for a birth control pill.

LISA: What?

EMPLOYER: That’s right, a birth control pill. Why are you on birth control pills?

LISA: Excuse me?

EMPLOYER: Why are you on birth control?

LISA: I’m sorry, sir, but that’s personal.

EMPLOYER: No, it’s not. I believe that birth control is a sin and I’ll need to see proof that you aren’t using it so you can have unlimited sex.

LISA: What?????

EMPLOYER: Lisa, you seem rather tongue tied on the subject. Should I take that to mean that you, an unmarried woman, are using birth control only for sex?

LISA (red-faced and nearly in tears): But…I get really bad cramps. That’s why the doctor gave them to me. Plus, I don’t want to get pregnant.

EMPLOYER: So you’re admitting you have sex.

LISA: No…no. I’m not admitting anything. Isn’t that my business?

EMPLOYER: No. I need to know that I am not paying for sin. I need proof that you are using birth control for non-sexual purposes. Take the rest of the day off and go to your doctor. You can come back when you have a note from him saying that the pills aren’t for sex.

LISA: But it comes out of my insurance. I pay for that out of every paycheck.

EMPLOYER: You only pay for half the insurance. I pay for the other half. I need to make sure that you aren’t violating my First Amendment rights.

Shaking and in tears, Lisa leaves for her doctor. The doctor, also a Catholic, (the largest religious bloc) refuses to write the note. Lisa is never allowed to return to work.

Later that day Lisa calls the ACLU & a lawyer with experience with HIPPA, who takes her case on contingency. Proceeds to sue former employer out of existence along with her former doctor (or whomever disclosed your medical history to your employer)

...and since when did birth control become slut pills?

Since the 2012 election campaign.

Just Arizona's for now.

You have to remember that Arizona won the Stupidest State in the Union contest a couple of years ago. We beat out Mississippi and Texas so that takes some doing.

The center of that stupidity is the state legislature which is always dominated by republibertarianeo-conazis and has been for years and still blames the democrats for the state's problems.

And the majority of the idiots who live here fall for it every time.

Yeah, you would definitely need the ACLU on this one, seeing as it is a hot button political thiing right now. Its guarenteed that trying to take this to court will have you up against the best conservative lawyers money can buy..
