The War on Women’s Pay: Rep. Speier Marks 'Equal Pay Day' With a Call to Arms

[LuckyTheDog]

I think his campaign is a reflection of priorities we’ve seen among right-wing Republicans. Women should be barefoot and pregnant. It speaks to this assault on women’s rights and on the value of women, on attempts to ban contraception. The first George Bush was a proponent of Planned Parenthood. This extreme tilt to the right now is diminishing women, particularly when you realize that 98 percent of women have used contraception at some point.

Don't get me wrong. I am a live-and-let-live kind of guy. I you are a woman who wants to be barefoot and pregnant and is in a position to make that work for you -- hey knock yourself out (or, up, as the case may be). But if you choose to have a career and want to be treated as an equal to the men you work with, then you absolutely have that right. It pisses me off that anyone thinks differently.
