TYT: Why Are You On Birth Control? Employers Can Ask (Then Fire You) In AZ

[ihavenobias]

The Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee has recently voted in favor of legislation that will make it legal for employers to ask their employees what they need contraception for and fire an employee if they don't like the answer. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss this insane legislation and try to figure out why any woman would vote for a Republican.

1. "Because I might have a kid that grows up to a conservative idiot like you"

That would be my answer.

Unreal.

2. WTF ?

3. Wedge issues

tend to work extremely well for the right-wing, establishment wizards.

It looks like they tend to throw out issues that have strong emotional impact by focusing on particular groups or gender, knowing that these issues are important and people will react and struggle to protect their rights, privacy, etc.

However, this is an election year. What bothers me most is that the wedge issues that are fielded and attacked provide distraction from a HOST of other issues that are extremely pertinent and worsening.

In this case, what is comforting is that the GOP is taking enough rope to hang itself this time around because they appear to lack the means to execute their distractions with any sophistication.

4. Abstinence in Marriage

Would a married woman, who needs the Pill for medical reasons, have to sign a "purity pledge" that while using contraception for medical reasons, she will not have sex with her husband to prevent children from being born.

Don't laugh at that. This IS what the Catholic Church tells a married woman on the pill for medical reasons to do. Sex is for PROCREATION.

6. Well bully for you...

[Quantess]

10. Yeah, well it's nobody's business anyway.

So they shouldn't be asking!

7. Would Mexico like to buy Arizona?

I'd be willing to sell it cheap.

8. who does your closed captioning?

because they suck... Were I hearing impaired, I would think that this clip was a joke.

it's distracting to read the totally wrong words on screen while discussing a very serious topic.

11. Google's Youtube computer-generated captions

You have the option of turning them off. They don't work well when people speak rapidly.
They are in a test phase, working out the kinks, and are of questionable value to many videos on Youtube.

9. We should find out what drugs state legislators use and why?

[saras]

12. 'Cause my Daddy won't leave me alone!

Are you obligated to tell them the truth? How would they know?

That is a question that is just begging for MAD's "snappy answers to stupid questions."

[ScottLand]

13. The Republicans are not crossing the line here, as Ana suggests.

That line is so far behind them they can't even see it anymore.

[joanbarnes]

14. I remember when we got fired (or couldn't get hired) for getting pregnant!

[progressoid]

15. Ana FTW!
