The GOP's continued war on women.

Well it looks like the GOP is not only trying to push our laws back to the 90s......the 1890's but it appears that their war on women continues. After attacking womens reproductive rights they are now attacking their work place rights.

Scott Walker, in an act which could assure he is recalled as Governor just signed a law which repeals Wisconsins equal pay enforcement law.

Looks like to me ladies that in Wisconsin your place is in the home, bare foot and pregnant, and not in the work place where you might, god forbid, take a mans job away from him.

So much for the GOP believing in fairness and competition.

The GOP has veered so far to the right that it is incredible.
 
Walker is going down and others of his ilk will follow shortly. The people are becoming aware and will vote.

He also signed several other anti-woman legislation. Looks like Walker is jumped right into the GOP war on women. Don't look like he's going to be long in office.

The fucking coward did it late on Thursday night, on a holiday weekend, like it would excape notice too.

The repealing of legislation requiring schools to accurately and scientifically teach sex education is particularly egregious in my mind. It looks like these folks in the GOP want to keep women uninformed, pregnant and unemployed.

I mean how far to the right can these guys go and get away with it?

It will be interesting to see how Romney handles this additional attack on womens rights.

I mean WTF, PiMP. I know you think we are all stupid but Jesus Christ. If that particular law doesn't have punitive or compensatory punishments for violaters what the fuck good is it?

So what's next PiMP? Get rid of child labor laws?

They're working on them, Derp. Seriously, they started at about the time the laws were enacted.
 
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Sunday the Republican Party is focused on “turning back the clock for women.”

“The focus of the Republican Party on turning back the clock for women really is something that's unacceptable and shows how callus and insensitive they are towards women's priorities,” Wasserman Schultz said.

“Because the policies that have come out of the Republican Party saying we should have to have a debate again over contraception and whether we should have access to it and it should be affordable, saying that like Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin, you know, he tried to quietly repeal the Equal Pay Act. Women aren't going to stand for that,” Wasserman Schultz said.

“You have Republicans that have engaged themselves for the entire Congress on trying to redefine rape as only being forceful rape, defunding Planned Parenthood and family planning programs.”

Wasserman Schultz pointed to something Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski said when asked if the phrase “war on women” helps the dialogue or is a little overstretched.

“We need to look at what Republicans are saying about the policies towards women themselves, so look at what Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska just said in her state the other day, where she said, if Republicans don't position that our policies are an attack on women, they need it on go home and talk to their wives and daughters,” Wasserman Schultz said.

What does this have to do with competition?
