Equal Pay and More Outrage

Today is Equal Pay Day. Hooray! and Boo that we still have to talk about something like people getting paid equally for doing the same thing. On the ongoing battle front I will share with you the following: Naral Pro-Choice has a yearly report card grading each state on their reproductive rights and it's very interesting/frigthening. Mild surprises to me? Massachusetts gets a B- (only a B-?), Idaho is the only state to lack a single Pro-Choice law (not even one?) and 20 states have unconstitutional and unenforceable bans that could outlaw abortion as early as the 12th week of pregnancy, with no exception to protect a woman’s health: AL, AK, FL,ID, IL, IN, IA, KY, MI, MS, NE, NJ, ND, OK, RI, SC, SD, TN, WV, WI. The top 3 states? California, Washington and Connecticut. The bottom 3? Louisiana, North Dakota and Mississippi. The scariest part of the whole report is that our national grade is a inexcusable D. Overall, 21 states receive F's. For the full report check this out.
