    No, abortion isn't a policy of, nor does it grant 'freedom'. If it grants 'freedom' from pregnancy, then perhaps the woman in question should've thought twice before entering a relationship with someone. If she wants to 'liberate' herself that much, she should just remain single.

    It's not a double standard, we men do it all the time. If we don't want a relationship, we're very clear on it.

    Strawman, hardly, just using your quote to try to understand what you are saying. Using the same tactic that liberals use against republicans, twisting your words.

    You said that they did not take what jobs they are doing into account, the same question this asked of all the studies that show income inequality. But somehow your question is not aimed at woman and your obvious chauvinism against women in the workplace. Your words were very misogynistic.

    Those phony liberal statistics also leave out how many hours are worked. The whole thing is nothing but propaganda to motivate women to vote democrat. Pathetic.

    """I personally see it as a NON-ISSUE today. I see racism against blacks---non-issue"""

    Spoken like a true white male.......of course it's a non-issue for you....

    All Hussein Obama does (besides goofing off) is spew lies.

    Of course. But since I'm a white female---I realize you never really answered specifically what we needed to do. What laws to be tweaked and how so. What specific changes are needed to ....lesson the discrimination going on. Specifics please. Vague rants don't say anything.

    Females can be just as sexist as any male...I won't give my opinion of them here, it would be considered inflammatory....

    I haven't given any "vague rants"....and I don't write laws, and I have also indicated that laws alone will not end discrimination...

    Nothing needs to be done but enforce the laws already on the books. This is a ploy the Democrats are using to make it look like there is still a war on women and only the Democrats care.

    The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a United States federal law amending the Fair Labor Standards Act, aimed at abolishing wage disparity based on sex (see Gender pay gap). It was signed into law on June 10, 1963 by John F. Kennedy as part of his New Frontier Program.[1] In passing the bill, Congress stated that sex discrimination:[2]

    depresses wages and living standards for employees necessary for their health and efficiency;
    prevents the maximum utilization of the available labor resources
    tends to cause labor disputes, thereby burdening, affecting, and obstructing commerce;
    burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce; and
    constitutes an unfair method of competition.

    The law provides (in part) that:

    No employer having employees subject to any provisions of this section [section 206 of title 29 of the United States Code] shall discriminate, within any establishment in which such employees are employed, between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees in such establishment at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs[,] the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions, except where such payment is made pursuant to (i) a seniority system; (ii) a merit system; (iii) a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production; or (iv) a differential based on any other factor other than sex

    I was asking you a question, but regardless,
    definitions do matter, and Woman is one of those words that is widely understood to have only one meaning.
    It's not one of those obscure terms with a number of interchangeable meanings which are all fundamentally different.
    Saying that a human fetus is a person is one things, but you lot take it too far. (about a dozen or more years too far, to be precise)

    Perhaps Obama should call for equal pay for his White House staff before advocating that the private sector do the same.

    Your special pleading is laughable...and shameful.

    We already know that liberals can rationalize anything. You wouldn't be liberals without this skill; the inconsistency and moral bankruptcy would drive you insane.

    Every post. I have literally no use for your ideas, and believe they have poisoned this country.

    OK, I get it :) The Misogynist Club (Republicans) say there is no discrimination when it comes to pay (and IF there is it's all the woman's fault)...except in the White House where for some reason the Repubs think it's now TRUE , it DOES exist, and "bad" that women are discriminated against...AND it's NOT women's fault but Obamas....

    UnFinbelievable.....:).

    Why no response ? In all fairness, is that not an important question ?

    I love the irony here. Because in order to even believe there is still a need for this demand, one has to believe it is 1958, himself. Classic liberal projection at its finest right here. Accusing others of being stuck in the past while having no idea what the world today actually looks like.

    Still can't back up your numbers, shameless.

    BTW, why doesn't your ilk do anything about miscarriages.

    More of the phony war on women nonsense. It is an election year though so what do ya expect from Oblamer. Why hasn't the President done anything to help the "inequality"? What about his pen and phone? He has had the White House now for a few years now and women have gotten nothing.

    They can do it because the majority of the population doesn't know there is already a bill out for equal pay for equal work and it was done all the way back by Kennedy. You don't think the Democrats will pass up the chance of telling a lie just to try and push their war on women do you?

    They are equally important but abortion on demand is not about the woman's life it is about the babies life.
