Arizona now has HB2625, allows ANY EMPLOYER to deny contraception coverage
based on "moral objections". You don't even have to be a Christian or even a theist - any employer can claim the exemption.
Last month Arizona brought Scott Walker in and they crafted an anti-union bill that was worse than Wisconsin's. Little to no news on TV; nothing on DU.
It seems like the Republican strategy is just to push as many crazy bills as possible all the time and whatever gets thru is "progress".
The Arizona (and I suspect other states and issues) instance is part of a huge, decentralized bottom up strategy; when Republicans have control of the Executive, they will also engage in top down maneuvers just like this. It's like they are a swarm of bees - any one could be easily swatted, but they mass and attack so there are too many things going on at once to give due attention to any single instance.
