Do Republicans really think they have a winner here? Do they really think they can win by locking up the narrow minded white elderly, mostly male vote?
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.
So, not only can they deny benefits for birth control used for contraception, they can make you prove to their satisfaction that you have a non-slutty need for the pill. Surely Ms. Lesko would agree with Ohio legislator Nina Turner that we men also need someone to watch over us. No doubt she’ll amend her bill, and her male compatriots will surely sign on, to incorporate Turner’s ideas:
Specifically, Turner’s bill would require men to receive psychological counseling to verify that they have a medical reason for taking erectile dysfunction medications, such as Viagra, before they can legally obtain a prescription for it. It would also require doctors to inform men, in writing, about the potential risks of drugs like Viagra.
