Lilly LedBetter on Pay Equity
Yes! This ad will get women’s blood a boiling! I missed the opportunity to sit in on a nation women’s leadership conference call yesterday with Obama during which he spoke about pay equity and other issues many consider “women’s issues.” But supporting pay equity is a no brainer. Every father with a daughter and husband should pay attention to this ad. Women like Lilly Ledbetter are being paying paid less than their male counterparts even when they have the same qualifications and education level. And John McCain’s response? Women need more training and education. It’s a response that’s beyond insulting in an economy that makes two-income families a necessity. McCain too often sounds like he’s running for president in 1956–particularly on this issue.
