Things that make you go hmmm...

This was taken from a news bit I receive daily by email--it was sent by Women's E-news founder and editor-in-chief Rita Henley Jensen:

"We have only 16 percent of the Congress and only one woman on the Supreme Court; we are ranked 26th in maternal mortality worldwide.

And I didn't even get to the wage gap (77 cents on the dollar), the percentage of the poor (adult U.S. women are twice as likely to live in poverty than adult men) or the bias built into the family court and Social Security Laws. And I couldn't even begin to discuss what women face in corporate America and in law and accounting firms."

Yeah, we ain't come so far after all, baby.
