[Vision2020] Keeping America's Women Moving Forward

...Just as Mitt Romney was making the case to Newsmax, that paragon of journalistic integrity, that the so-called Republican 
war on women is entirely concocted by Democrats, Republican Scott Walker was quietly signing a law that repealed Wisconsin’s Equal Pay Enforcement law, which made it 
easier for women to seek damages in discrimination cases. Driven by 
state business lobbies, the repeal passed the GOP-dominated Legislature 
on a strict party line vote, and Walker signed it, with no comment, 
Thursday afternoon.
President Obama, meanwhile, was hosting a 
White House summit on women and the economy Thursday. Predictably, 
Republicans howled that the president is merely courting another 
“interest group” and playing politics. There was no doubt some politics 
at play during the summit; at one point participants chanted, “Four more years!”
But really, when Republicans are repealing equal pay laws and proposing 
federal budgets that disproportionately hurt women, as well as 
restricting funding for contraception, who’s playing politics with 
women’s issues?
