Equal Pay Erases Choice
March 22, 2019
An Unfair Paycheck Act
House Democrats are pushing forward yet another oppressive measure disguised under the label of “equality”. The Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 7) is messaged as a bill that outlaws sex-based wage discrimination. The Left makes this sound like a good effort, but in reality, unequal pay on the basis of sex is illegal now.

From 1921 to Now: 100 Years of Feminists Fighting (With Each Other) About the ERA
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has been passed between state legislatures and Congressional filing cabinets for almost 100 years, as good intentions never materialized into good public policy.
