Report from Think Progress:

Arizona has taken up yet another draconian law for women’s health – this time replicating but broadening the federal push to let employers deny women access to birth control.

 By a vote of 6-2, an Arizona State Senate Judiciary committee yesterday endorsed the measure:

20 year ban on uranium mining around Grand Canyon imposed

The ban follows calls from Arizona officials for a mining moratorium and two temporary bans on mining claims imposed by the Department of the Interior.
