I find it remarkable that Mitt Romney repeatedly called for the promotion of gender equality in the Middle East during Monday night’s debate while campaigning against it at home. How can we take such calls seriously when his surrogates call for barring affordable access to women’s preventive health care and label the push for equal pay for equal work as a boon for trial lawyers?

Just because a bill has good intentions doesn't mean that it isn't written in a way that will have unintended consequences. That was the case with the equal pay bill. It's goals were worthy but as presented it was a boon to the wrong people.

Sasha,
if tyou think battling for women's right to vote oo drive a car or even go to school, is on the same plane as whether women get universal free birth control or whether women librarians get paid the same as men steel workers...then you obviously haven't a clue.
"Equal pay for equal work" Who do you think will decide how vastly different jobs are equal? Is equal work subject to dispassionate anaylsis? No way, every arguement will need a judge and jury...
Barring access to Women's preventive health care, do you mean tax payer funded birth control or abortion, is that what you mean!!!!! We have had Equal Pay laws on the books since the early 1960's, and yes it does open up a boon for lawyers dear, we don't have equal pay police.
