The new law will just result in fewer women being hired in Illinois companies. Action and re-action is always something the libs and feminazis don't bother to think about in their self-absorbation.

Breast cancer is terrible and we all fervently hope for a cure. Other diseases, however, present an even bigger danger to women’s health. That’s a reality we don’t hear much.


The biggest danger to women, and society as a whole is the overtaxation of our families so that women feel they must work.
If we realized that one cannot give 100% to BOTH raising children and working, we will be better off as a whole.
Just ask the parents of the High School students in GA where 200 kids ended up with STD's from "Do what Playboy channel does" parties between 3 and 6 pm while parents worked.

Sounds good. We should ask why, now that we finally have a Republican President, House, and Senate -- our federal government is still increasing spending? I thought that was a Rat problem. Apparently not.

No, what the governor did was sign into law a bill that in theory will guarantee women won’t earn less than men for the same or similar work. The legislation will apply to every company with four or more employees. During the ceremony, Blagojevich pointed out a state labor department report showing that women in Illinois are earning 71 cents for every dollar earned by men.

Feminists and their Phil Donahue-ish male sympathizers use the pay gap between men and women as irrefutable evidence of widespread sex discrimination. The salary difference is misleading.

Rubbish. Businesses can evaluate the risk they take in hiring an employee and freely adjust the wages there of. i can't stand these illegal accross the board racist laws.

Oh you got that right. Moms work = taxes, kids go to daycare = tax on workers, tax on facilities, control of kids from the youngest ages. When will we smarten up? No one wants moms home except the kids.

At the same time, I find it interesting that breast cancer has risen in concern to so many people when, statistically, it’s not the biggest threat to women’s health.

Yeah, but it's an in disease, something that elevates your 'caring' quotient with your liberal friends when you participate in fundraisers, etc. You just can't get the same juice out of heart disease, MS, etc.

I heard one girl from that school, on FNC, saying that it was all about the girls being "loud and strong." I got the feeling that they consider acting like a group of thugs to be some sort of empowerment.

My long-standing theory on the women feeling they have to work and the disintegration of the American family were both triggered by the so-called "oil embargo" of the 70's. When gas prices soared to over $1, two incomes were deemed neccessary. Think about it...

A few years ago, the president of the Ms. Foundation claimed, "“What we are trying to do is keep girls’ voices strong and their aspirations high.”

Seems to me those feminist voices tend to be either a whine or a shriek.

I keep trying to forget that part, but - all too often - 'tis true.

Except, probably, trial lawyer firms. Just what we need.

Have you ever noticed that the whole premise of feminism is based upon competing with men? It is almost never about a woman making it on her own merits. Look at feminist television programming; the only way a woman can appear strong is by, unrealistically, putting a man in his place. One of the biggest feminist role models, Her Thighness, got where she is through Bubba, and hides behind the demure victim persona when questioned.
