War On Women

Senate Republicans Filibuster Equal Pay for Women

Every Republican voted to block this.

Today, Republicans in the Senate blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act by filibustering the bill. The legislation would have strengthened protections for women who are being paid less because of their gender by creating larger penalties for employers who discriminate, creating more transparency of salaries so that women know whether they are being paid less, and protecting those who sue for pay equity.

And somehow Romney is gaining with women. Why do they do it? Because they can -- with impunity.
