In the latest Republican sexist attack on women's rights, Arizona Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli, who opposes legislation guaranteeing the right to contraceptives, says women can avoid getting pregnant simply by keeping their legs closed.

 

"Like I said, Bayer Company invented aspirin," said Borrelli, who spent a day in jail on domestic violence charges in 2001. "Put it between your knees."

 

In other words, women wouldn't need birth control if they kept a pill bottle between their legs to prevent having sex. His sexist comments came as Republicans continue to stall legislation sought by Gov. Katie Hobbs that would assure access to contraception in the state.

Uncover the truth about Racism in the Doctor's Office as Dr. Sanlare Gordon sheds light on systemic discrimination and its impact on healthcare for people of color.

Dr. Sanlare Gordon, board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, discusses this form of discrimination and racism on the Lean to the Left podcast. She is a staff physician at Pandia Health, the only women-founded and women-led birth control delivery service, and serves as a traveling OBGYN physician, filling in where there is a need -- especially in small and rural communities where doctors are in short supply.
