A proposed law in Arizona could give employers the right to fire women who use birth control. -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 13, 13:59 60
- Since when do the rights of the employers trump the rights of the individuals? What the hell is happening to this country? -- nm - pmb Mar 13, 14:27 3
  - When the employers started paying for their health care. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 14:39 1
    - Employers have paid for health care for decades. In fact, they often used to pay for all of it. Now employees usually pay at least a meaningful - pmb Mar 13, 14:40
  - when people started to think that god would like them less if they didnt legislate their beliefs into law. - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:31
- I'm assuming you read the 1.5 pages of the bill to see what it does, right? -- (link) - spamlet Mar 13, 14:17 32
  - [deleted] 3
    - I just wanted to see how long the bill was at first. Anytime something sounds crazy it probably is. - spamlet Mar 13, 14:29 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        werd -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:33
  - i thought you said this bill was 1.5 pages. - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:21 5
    - Sorry, look at the last 1.5 pages of the bill. That's the part they are screaming about. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 14:22 4
      - ok, i am getting there. but this is just stupid, we are going to require proof of medical necessity in one case - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:25 3
        
        just a point of clarification, the objection is not that contraception causes sex. the objection is that they believe contraception is wrong. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:26 2
        
        so if you're married and using contraception, that's wrong. It's not necessarily about unmarried sex. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:27 1
        
        your reality doesnt negate my justification for the law. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:30
  - and that is a horrible awful disgusting invasion of privacy. and crazy. and backwards. and insulting. and wtf. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 14:20
  - the article says as much. They're taking it further and assuming that an employer will fire you after forcing you to disclose that info. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:19 20
    - "This is a direct violation of my third amendment rights!" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 14:22
    - And if the employer has access to your medical information seems to me HIIPA would have something to say about that? -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 13, 14:21 16
      - yeah,I don't get that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:23
      - It's not your employer. It's the medical plan. - spamlet Mar 13, 14:22 14
        
        which, also only covers businesses, these sections do not apply to plans sold - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:33
        
        so, actually the employer would never know? -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:23 12
        
        Right - which completely negates the argument being made in the article, -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 13, 14:30
        
        It says employers can opt out of coverage for contraceptives if they have religious reasons. - spamlet Mar 13, 14:24 10
        
        I'll try to c&P the actual language - spamlet Mar 13, 14:26 9
        
        there's more.. women could have to pay in advance, then submit a claim with proof of a non-pregnancy-related need; and they can be charged a fee. - b. Mar 13, 14:31 5
        
        Actually, that's pro-woman. They could just say no contraceptive medicine would be paid for no matter the reason. - spamlet Mar 13, 14:32 3
        
        it's pro some women, except for the ridiculousness of the hoop-jumping being required for women with common medical conditions. - b. Mar 13, 14:35
        
        ok, explain this - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:34
        
        well, they are. The exception is for a noncontraceptive medicine. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:33
        
        ayup -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:32
        
        basically, it says an employer must file an affidavid stating its objection to coverage of contraceptives for - tRuMaN Mar 13, 14:29 2
        
        Yes and that women can submit proof that the contraception medicine is for non-contraceptive purposes to still get reimbursement. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 14:30 1
        
        Which is the case in many instances, yes - it can help with acne and other hormone-related issues. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 14:32
    - Because it's right to work? - spamlet Mar 13, 14:21 1
      - right, they are just taking it further, because AZ is an at will state. it's a stretch. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 14:22

- Why not just fire them because they're women? -- nm - mara Mar 13, 14:09 1
  - *gets a brilliant idea* -- nm - Arizona Legislator Mar 13, 14:11
- "I believe we live in America. We don't live in the Soviet Union." That's some crazy doublespeak. -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 14:05
- so who wants to move to New Zealand with me? we could all live in a compound - ceregon Mar 13, 14:04 4
  - and be in the same hemisphere as Wiggums? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 13, 14:05 3

poll, 1-10 current wrestlemania interest? 3. as much as it surprises me, if cena hadn't been so good aginst the rock I would have almost no interest - dogbert Mar 13, 13:57 16

  - I think that's more Vince than anything. He sells a ton of merch...but yeah I kind of agree with you -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 14:02 6

        I think if you look at what CM Punk has been saying in the ring and what time he says it goes to my point....and while I liked Rock's 'bit' - Remlik Mar 13, 14:18 2
        
        Yeah, just a serious promo from him; no more waiting for chants to start, no more lady parts stuff - Will Hunting Mar 13, 14:24 1
