Yahoo News: Ariz. bill could require reason for birth control.
What comes first, public health or religious belief? Here’s a handy for-instance: What if your employer were a Jehovah’s Witness? No blood transfusions. I respect religion, as long as it enforces no restraints upon my freedom when I am not a participant. This AZ legislation is a very dangerous line to cross, IMHO.

I understand your point completely. Unfortunately, a portion of the sloped-forehead Right believes Nazism is a left-wing phenomenon. One can’t invoke the Nazis without encouraging all kinds of ridiculous fact-obscuring BS.
Next thing you know, though ... one of these right wing bozos will invent a religious test for collecting Social Security or Medicare.
‘Sloped-head Right’ is so apt. Imagine thinking that Nazism, which put all females into a rigidly-defined role either as Mother or Whore, is ‘left wing!’ Furthermore, imagine being ignorant of the fact that Nazis strove to murder communists, whom they saw as their absolute nemesis, from the earliest days of Nazism. Do they even grok that the origin of communism is from the left, not the right? ‘You just can’t fix stupid’ as a pal of mine in Tucson pointed out!

I speak as a former long-term Tucsonan. Every time I think the state gov’t of Arizona couldn’t do anything stupider, they prove me wrong. These new law-proposals remind me of the Nazi party’s incremental laws passed in the 1930s that initially punished, then criminalized being born even the slightest-bit Jewish.
