Republicans are not going to be happy until you’re barefoot, pregnant, cookin’ dinner, and suckling a kid on each teat.

And that’s the downright truth.

Take an imaginary trip to Arizona, where they have extremely real legislation:

A proposed law in Arizona could give employers the right to fire women who use birth control. The bill, which sailed right through the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee, grants employers the right to ask for proof that contraceptives are being taken for non-contraceptive reasons.

Seriously, they’re serious.

But, the best part comes from an Arizona state legislator who contends this is the Soviet Union (no, really) at work.

Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.

“I believe we live in America. We don’t live in the Soviet Union,” Lesko said. “So, government should not be telling the organizations or mom and pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs.”

Debbie, Honey, sneeze!  Your brain is dusty.

If I use birth control I can be fired from my job, and that’s not the Soviet Union?  So, it’s the Soviet Union that we can tell employers that they cannot discriminate on the basis of race?  Or that they could force you to work 18 hours a day because they have a moral code about laziness?

Debbie, you’re an idiot.  A mean idiot.  A busybody idiot.  An idiot with a cheery on top.

Debbie, I’ll make you a deal:  Your hoochy life is none of my business and my hoochy life is none of your business.  That’s America.

Besides, Babe, your hoochy life has got to be creepy.  That’s all I’m sayin’.

Thanks to Elise for the heads-up.
