Arizona just passed law that blocks women from buying insurance that covers abortion

[cali]

- Arizona lawmakers on Wednesday passed a controversial measure blocking women from buying insurance that includes abortion coverage through the federal health care exchange.

The fiercely-debated bill also requires doctors to tell women they could possibly reverse the effects of a drug-induced abortion, a claim that critics called "junk science."

The legislation was approved by an 18-11 vote in the Republican-controlled Senate, with two Democrats voting for it. House lawmakers on Monday approved the bill by a 33-24 margin.

It now goes to Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey, who has not indicated whether he will sign or veto the bill. He has said he is opposed to abortion.

1. They just keep chipping away at women's rights.

2. Would that not be

government interfering with the marketplace. Seems to me that if a woman wants said insurance and it is available the state government should not be interfering with her purchase of same. Is that not a conservative mantra????

3. trumped by the belief that abortion is murder.

4. I hope that only men voted for this, because women can't be trusted with big decisions

Especially not with decisions that pertain to their own bodies. God forbid!

5. At least with better communications today it is readily apparent what

irresponsible politicians are doing.

6. WTF does "reverse the effects of a drug-induced abortion" even mean?

8. I have no clue. Wondering about that myself.

7. not good

This will create unsupervised abortions that could be very harmful to the woman. Even as a pro-life person I find this very wrong and hurtful to women.

I would also like the names and gender of those who voted.
