Equal pay for equal work

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job. If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

Unless you're a W(hite) O(ld) R(acist) M(an), the GOP does not care

AOC: We’re supposed to sit here and see a party that has voted against women’s access to abortion, equal pay, the violence against women act, against our right to have access to contraception… and I’m supposed to believe they’re looking out for my best interests?

Unfortunately, this is all too true

Overheard: Men tend to choose higher paying careers like doctor, lawyer, CEO or engineer. Women tend to choose lower paying careers like female doctor, female lawyer, female CEO or female engineer

If you aren't a fetus, republicans don't give a shit

A pro-life country would have Universal health care and Paid Maternity Leave as well as equal pay and protection from gun violence

And another reason to love President Joe Biden

On International Women’s Day, we recognize the achievements of women and girls around the world. As we celebrate the progress we’ve made, let’s recommit ourselves to the work that remains to deliver the full measure of equity, dignity, and opportunity due to all women and girls.

Twenty-five reasons to vote for Obama: #20--Lily Ledbetter

The very first bill President Obama signed was the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which basically overturned a rather bad Supreme Court decision, and allowed women to sue for pay discrimination within a realistic period of time (the Supreme Court had ruled that women had 180 days from the first discriminatory paycheck before the statute of limitations ran out, which meant, in effect, that if a woman found out about pay discrimination for the first time five years after the fact she couldn't sue).  The Democratic Congress decided women had 180 days from each paycheck to bring suit.  Sounds like a simple and fair enough law, right?

Nope.  Willard has yet to go on record in support of the act, even when given an opportunity to lie through his teeth like at last night's debate.  In a nutshell, what this means is that Willard thinks it's perfectly fine for corporations to pay women less than men for doing the same job.  And that it's perfectly fine to discriminate against women in equal pay as long as it doesn't happen in the first six months of her start date in her position.

What the fuck?  Romney's position is just another sop to corporate America, and we need more of them like we need more lima beans.

What we do need is to insure that women are paid equal to men fpr the same work, and the President's signing of the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 was a damn good start.
