Arizona follows up draconian immigration law with draconian abortion law



It's not just Oklahoma. These days, Arizona seems to be the state taking the lead pushing a far-right, hard-right agenda: Here's TP's Igor Volsky with the ugly details:

The nation is rightly focused on Arizona's draconian new immigration law, but Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) -- who is running for her first full term in office this year -- has just signed another regressive bill that could severely restrict women's access to abortion coverage.

On Saturday, "at the Center for Arizona Policy Family dinner before 1600 guests," Brewer signed SB 1305, the first-in-the nation bill that would prohibit insurers in the state-run health care exchange "from providing coverage for abortions unless the coverage is offered as a separate optional rider for which an additional insurance premium is charged."
