Where Are The Women? The Women Are

In America, We Have Long Stood By The Principle That The Protections Of The Law Are Not Meant Just For Some.

I Just Remember When My First Child Was Born I Called The Personnel Office And I Asked Them About Their Leave Policies. And They Said, "leave Policies? Women Just Leave And They Don't Come Back." And I Said, "but I Want To Come Back." They Said, "we Have No Leave Policy." And Then They Said, "why Don't You Apply For Disability?" Well, Having A Child Is Not A Disability.

The Reports That Media Matters Have Done About Sexism In Our Society And Really The Mainstream Media Called Hillary Clinton "castrating," They Called Her The B Word, They Called Her All Kinds Of Horrible Things. And I Think In A Sense That It Raised The Awareness In Our Country, So That We Can Have A National Discussion About It.

When I Started Working, Women Were Working At 59 Cents To The Dollar. We Got A Raise, But It's Still Unfair. We're Still 16 Percent Of Congress, Even Though We're 51 Percent Of The Population. We're A Low Percentage Of Our Ceos. We're A Low Percentage Of Boards And Being Part Of Boards.

I Write About One Of My Bills That Says Pharmacists Cannot Be Doctors. They Cannot Determine What They Will Or Will Not Sell, And You Find That Many Pharmacists Will Not Sell Birth Control. The Movement Has Gone Not Just Against The Access Of Reproductive Rights To Abortion; The Movement Has Gone To Birth Control. They're Going After Birth Control.
