So how do the women feel about the Republicans' near-universal opposition to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act?
FYI, when questioned about it on a live press call that Romney arranged to discuss women's issues ... he didn't even appear to know what the Act was (it was the first law Obama signed). His campaign told the reporter that Romney would have to get back to him on that. :roll: Subsequently Romney did not endorse the measure, but he graciously said that he would not repeal it -- as if that's something the President can do.
If I am not mistaken, and I could be because I dont know every republicans reasonings, but I recall hearing back then that Republicans did not oppose the main idea of the bill, but rather wanted some additional wording or provisions included to help prevent frivolous lawsuits. Working to prevent frivilous lawsuits hardly constitutes an attack on woman.
