The firing is not in the bill. But because of Arizona's at-will employment, an employer who has the power to request private information from employees about their sex lives can sure as hell fire them if the employer feels like doing so, after finding out about their private sex lives.
You say you don't want government in your personal lives but this bill puts your employer right in your bedroom. It's amazing to me more people are not upset with that aspect, as BearMtnHIB is.
JSG wrote: A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to request that women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they're using it for non-sexual reasons. And because Arizona's an at-will employment state, that means that bosses critical of their female employees' sex lives could fire them as a result. If we could harness the power of the crappy ideas coming out of the state of Arizona, we could probably power a rocket ship to the moon, where there are no Mexicans or fertile wombs and everyone can be free to be as mean a cranky a**hole as they want at all times! Arizona Heaven!
Yesterday, a Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed Republican Debbie Lesko's HB2625 by a vote of 6-2, which would allow an employer to request proof that a woman using insurance to buy birth control was being prescribed the birth control for reasons other than not wanting to get pregnant.
"Law Will Allow Employers to Fire Women for Using Whore Pills"... where in THIS LAW is the language that allows them to fire women for using birth control? I'll wait.

Right there.
Hey Kate... try again... JSG's thread title is "Law Will Allow Employers to Fire Women for Using Whore Pills"... there is NOTHIN IN THIS NEW LAW that states anything about employment practices, or anything in the law that states an employer can fire anyone over birth control... is there? Your comment and JSG's comment is a blatant lie.

The foundation of your argument is that there is nothing explicit within the bill that says employers can fire people based on their use of contraception? Since Arizona is an "at-will" employment state, it doesn't have to be in the bill.

Does that mean that you could be fired for driving a Chevy instead of a Ford if the employer only liked Fords?
Proposed AZ law would let women be fired for using the pill
A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to require women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they’re using it for non-sexual reasons. Imagine getting fired for using birth control pills.
Senate judiciary committee endorses controversial contraceptive bill
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-2 Monday to endorse a controversial bill that would allow Arizona employers the right to deny health insurance coverage for contraceptives based on religious objections.
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.

Want to lie again? Are you and JSG taking lying lessons from Lady Jazzer?
