The 'Tell Your Boss Why You're On The Pill' Bill

Amanda Beadle, Think Progress.org joins Thom Hartmann. The state that brought you the radical anti-immigration "papers, please" law - banned the teaching of Hispanic-American history - and created an official state handgun just months after their Congresswoman was shot in the head - is at it again. Republicans in the Arizona state senate are bringng the war against women to the Grand Canyon State. Legislation was just passed out of a Senate Committee that would require women to turn over their medical records to employers. Why? Let's just say it has something to with that pesky debate about contraceptives - a debate Republicans started to distract voters from an improving economy. And it's a debate that continues in Arizona - much to the chagrin of the American people. Here to talk about what's going on with Governor Jan Brewers backward state legislature - Thom is joined by Amanda Beadle w/ThinkProgress.

You clearly know very little about "the pill". Yes, there are potential side effects, as there is with any medication, but the the cancer risk point you made is complete bullshit. There no studies to prove that. The biggest risk with the pill is blood clots (not cancer).

Furthermore, there are some great benefits to that hormone regulation you said was so bad. Your period is lighter and if you're someone who gets cramps, they pretty much disappear. Anyone woman can understand how great that is.
