PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday that pending Arizona legislation on health plan coverage for birth control drugs could make it “a little bit uncomfortable for women” using contraception for reasons other than avoiding pregnancy.

The bill would allow all employers with religious and moral objections to birth control to refuse to provide coverage for that purpose through their health plans. Those employers would still have to provide coverage for contraception drugs for other medical reasons but could make women seeking reimbursements explain why they needed it.

Ms. Brewer said she had not yet studied the legislation, which is sponsored by a Republican representative.

“But I certainly would probably agree with the majority of people that would be a little bit uncomfortable for a woman to have to go to her employer and tell him or her their private health issues,” she said.
