Arizona Senate GOP Majority Leader presents an alternative to the state's Right to Contraception Act

 The age of the Bayer ad reflects Sonny's worldview.

HeadlineArizona Mirror, 3/7/2024
One Republican’s response to questions Thursday about contraceptives highlights the challenges Hobbs and legislative Democrats face in guaranteeing the right to contraceptive access in Arizona while the GOP controls the legislative agenda. 
Sen. Sonny Borrelli, the No. 2 Republican in the state Senate, responded to a question about whether he would oppose future efforts to restrict access to emergency contraceptives by saying that women wouldn’t need contraceptives if they weren’t so promiscuous. 
Like I said, Bayer Company invented aspirin. Put it between your knees,” he said, implying that, if women hold aspirin between their legs, they won’t be able to have sex and risk pregnancy. 
Borrelli, a Republican from Lake Havasu City, said the idea that contraceptive access is under attack is fabricated.
