>>> in a new fight in the so-called war on women , arizona is now the latest state to draft a controversial bill about birth control . it would allow all employees to opt out of providing contraception coverage if it violates religious or moral believes. if a woman wants reimbursement, her employer would be allowed to force her the use she is using contraception for other medical reasons and not for contraception. joining me now is erin from salon.com. thank so much for joining us. let's play what she had to say. we have a full screen . it says, we don't live in a soviet union and government should not be telling employers, catholic organization, mom and pop businesses to do something that's against their moral belief. a lot of this conversation is that women will fight against this and the republicans will pay for this. i was at a luncheon with a bright, successful, new york woman who is a republican and she flat out looked me in my face and said i don't think we should pay for some woman's birth control . the question is do you think we should pay for anything. insurance is an employee benefit that comes out of the wages of employees. if we think the things that are part of basic medical care like other forms of preventative medicine besides contraception should be cover.
>> the aclu is hitting hard on this. they say you are now asking for personal and sensitive information to ask of an employee and we would have to, women , would have to provide that in arizona.
>> it's crazy. are they going to start knocking on the door of the women who have polycystic ovarian syndrome . the level of invasiveness here and the thing that this opens the doors to is horrifying.
>> let me play pennsylvania governor tom corbitt discussing these intrusive ultrasounds or ultrasounds in general prior to a woman terminating pregnancy. he's getting a lot of heat. let me play it.
>> i don't know how you make anybody watch. okay. you have to close your eyes . as long as it's on exterior, not interi interior.
>> would not be intrusive, inside the body. you just have to close your eyes .
>> frankly any sort of ultra ultrasound law that is forced that's not indicated by the doctor is invasive.
>> it's the tone of. we know the medical facts. we get the difference, but to say you just have to close your eyes .
>> the outside, inside and the eyes closed are part of the same thing which is to say it's profoundly, way to think about women making their choices. there was a woman in texas where the laws are in place with heartbreaking account about how she had a medical reason for termination and the doctors have tho choice but to describe all of the parts. this is really emotional torture and they are calling it woman's right to now.
>> a voice of a woman from senator barbara boxer . a lot of women have commented on this. the voice of a woman touching her soul. let me play it real quick, if we can. a woman's voice can be sure and strong it can touch your soul
>> in our generation, i don't recall anything like this where women , certainly whatever side they are on quite passionate about this. will we see the full force or the impact that a woman's voice can have in november, you think?
>> i hope so. it's truly horrifying the agenda that many have for women . not only do they want to turn back the clock , they want to make it worse than in the 1950s . it's deeply horrifying.
>> thank you very much. you can check out the blog.
