Why doesn’t Romney want to talk about equal pay?

Romney keeps telling us that the economy is the issue of his campaign, but he doesn’t seem to know anything about the Lilly Ledbetter Act: Equal pay for equal work.

I’ve already written about another thing Romney doesn’t seem to know about: reproductive rights are inseparable from women’s economic status.

As governor, Romney vetoed a bill that would have given rape survivors access to emergency contraception. As a presidential candidate, he’s promising to defund Planned Parenthood and eliminate federal funding for birth control.

When you don’t care about the earning power of 51% of Americans, how can you claim to care about jobs and the economy?
