Kevin Sessums piles on:

I just want to remind people that the Republican war on women is not a new invention but started back in the first month of President Obama's term when every male Republican member of the Senate - except Arlen Specter - voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 to correct another egregious ruling by the right-wing radicals on the Supreme Court. Specter soon switched to the Democratic party because of the right-wing extremism he could no longer abide in the GOP. If it weren't for him and the Republican female senators Snowe and Collins and Hutchison and Murkowski joining every Democratic senator in support of this bill, President Obama would not have had enough votes to resist a Republican filibuster of the bill from all those radical right-wing senators who voted AGAINST expanding the Civil Rights law of 1964 and other such laws to include the right of a female employee to sue for equal pay for equal work.

Here is the roll call vote by Yeas and Nays and you can see in stark black and white which party is for women's rights and which party stands against it. Specter is no longer in the senate and Snowe has given it up too. So I guess the GOP there will be even more radical and right-wing without them - UNLESS WE DEFEAT MANY OF THOSE SAME GOP SENATORS UP FOR RE-ELECTION THIS YEAR WHO VOTED AGAINST THIS ACT.
