Few observations here: Interesting issue of preemption (federalism) comes into play. The feds set the rule, and the state is trying to override it. I think the feds win out (on Art I, Sec. 8 (clauses 1 and 18)) grounds since we’re talking about the general welfare.

Moreover, this would be an invasion of privacy and gender discrimination at that. It’s specifically targeting women and men would be under no such similar restriction (say a male contraceptive comes on the market).

The misogyny is strong with this bill.
