In Tennessee, I had coworkers who had an Accutane baby before the really horrible birth defects from the drug were widely known. They loved their son dearly, but if they'd had full knowledge of that possible side effect of her medication, then they would have definitely gone the pill plus barrier method while she was finishing the course of treatment in order to prevent conception until it was safe to do so.
So yeah, call the example a strawman if you want, but it's the kind of bad legislation that can have some really awful consequences.

Sadly, that isn’t even the half of it. You may want to sit down for this one. Arizona legislators know that whether or not her insurance covers it, a woman may get the prescription she needs to prevent an unintended pregnancy. They want to give her boss the right to control that too. The bill they are pushing would not only allow employers to take the insurance coverage away, but it would also make it easier for an employer who finds out that his employee uses birth control to fire her. You heard me right . . . to fire her.In Tennessee, I had coworkers who had an Accutane baby before the really horrible birth defects from the drug were widely known.
