The contraceptive political issue is religious oppression. The tail is wagging the dog.

Preventing pregnancy IS a medical condition.  Sterile women don't need it!


Men are getting vasectomies to prevent this mess in the lives of their spouses.  


If women wouldn't get mammograms in fear of breast cancer and what that meant to their relationships with mastectomy, women will insure their relationships are intact if they can't get birth control and sacrifice child bearing all together for the rest of their lives.

...Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.
“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.”...

The Arizona bill is misogyny.  It creates a world full of contradicting decision making designed to harness a woman's reproductive capacity to favor child bearing regardless of a woman's desire.  Women will seek abortions of any all kinds when refused cost effective birth control, that is why Roe v Wade existed in the first place.  

This enforces discrimination against women.  

Businesses will decide not to have contraceptive coverage if it is fiscally favorable.  It will provide a venue to discharge women from employment when no other reason exists.  It will create coercion of women in the work place cloaked in secrecy.  

This is capitalism at its worst.  Lesko has discarded her responsibility to legislate while protecting women by seeking 'the easy road' of political favor as if celibacy in marriage is a reasonable decision to birth control.

With this bill, the 'woman culture' in Arizona will shift and become covert and hostile.  It is misogyny.
