"   Between The Blunt Amendment and the heated emotion surrounding Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke&amp;#039;s congressional testimony, we didn&amp;#039;t think the debate surrounding free birth control could get any more controversial. We were so wrong. Now, a new law has been proposed in Arizona that would give employers the right to demand that women who are prescribed birth control pills give proof that they&amp;#039;re not using it for sexual reasons.  That means, if you live in Arizona and this law passes, you&amp;#039;ll have to prove to your boss that you&amp;#039;re not using The Pill to prevent pregnancy in order for your employer to cover it through your insurance. Instead, you&amp;#039;ll need to pony up a doctor&amp;#039;s note that shows that you&amp;#039;re using it for hormone control or acne treatment. Arizona House Bill 2625 was written by Republican state representative Debbie Lesko (yup, a woman) and was endorsed by Arizona&amp;#039;s Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week. It will move forward in the state and eventually go to a vote before Arizona&amp;#039;s state legislature.  &amp;quot;We live in America. We don&amp;#039;t live in the Soviet Union,&amp;quot; Lesko told Arizona University&amp;#039;s The State Press newspaper. &amp;quot;Government should not be telling the organizations or mom and pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs.&amp;quot; We doubt this proposal will actually be passed since it violates all kinds of privacy laws. But, if you live in Arizona and don&amp;#039;t want to risk having to produce a doctor&amp;#039;s note stating that you need birth control for your &amp;quot;acne problem,&amp;quot; contact your local state representative.
