Jan Brewer 'More Favorable' To Arizona Contraception Coverage Bill

Arizona Republic:

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says a contraception coverage bill now on her desk was improved in the time since she voiced reservations about an earlier version as being intrusive.

Brewer didn't commit to signing the bill, but the Republican governor told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday that her position on the bill is now "more favorable."

Jan is the only boogeyman in this discussion. She makes Keith Richards look like a newborn.

"But we are the party of women, particularly here in Arizona," Brewer said, citing the state's election of female governors and female legislators. "We like women."

How can she say that with a straight face?

Republican controlled States all over American have proposed and legislated all kinds of extreme measures that serve as test balloons.

In Michigan the governor has removed duly elected municipal officials and replaced them with a dictator of his own choosing and when petitions were garnered to challenge this act the Republican controlled body rejected these saying the font size on the petitions wasn't the proper size.

Do you get the point now?

A huge problem in America right now is the lack of understanding just how much danger the country is currently facing.

The Koch brothers and a few other billionaires have joined forces with a few religious fanatics to take total control of the Republican Party and have sent a clear message to all their elected officials and hopefuls that if they don't legislate what they dictate then they will be removed.

Once these tyrants get full control of both the Congress and Presidency there will never be an avenue to remove them as they will control all legislation, the court systems and they alone will determine the degree of democracy Americans will be allowed to exercise.

Remember Grover Norquist's statement that all the GOP needs is someone able to sign whatever they tell them to sign and they will make all the rules and regulations.

It's remarkable that in 2012, contraception is still an issue.

Because the Tea Bag/Republicans have nothing else to offer to advance the quality of life for all Americans.

Not surprised.

Another page from the Republican play book. Pretend to be doing this for the benefit of those they really want to control. As if this embraces equality and respect in anyway.

Why can't Republicans manage to just mind their own business, and stop with this patronizing nonsense of meddling in the personal lives of others?

Sweet home Arizona where taxpayers fund 50% of hospital births. Illegals account for 6%. They passed a bill to defund planned parenthood which will bump it up to 75% or higher. A good portion of the AHCCCS recipients are White, gun toting, Bible clutching, low educated and low skilled workers who vote Republican.  I'm tired of paying for these ya-hoos' health care.

Can you imagine: the house is all dark, the power is off, you hear some noises, in walks Jan Brewer to your room with a flashkite under her face shining up-wards AAAAIIIIEEEE the bogey-man.

Removing the paper bag was an effective birth control measure in her youth.

What... an aspirin between her legs isn't sufficient for her?

[trussia1]

It should be more than sufficient for her don't you think!

He dates took them before going out with her.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and every one of these extreme bills that passes out of the Republican super-majority legislature that she signs will certainly come back and bite her.

I wonder who paid for her contraception?

Her face.

If all women looked like Jan Brewer, there would be no need for contraception.
