Obama Calls For Equal Pay For Women: ‘This isn’t 1958 — it’s 2014’ (VIDEO)

Obama Calls For Equal Pay For Women

President Obama spoke at Orlando’s Valencia College on Thursday, calling for equal pay for women.

“Women are still earning just 77 cents on every dollar that a man does. Women with college degrees may earn hundreds of thousands of dollars less over the course of her career than a man at the same educational level, and that’s wrong.”

“This isn’t 1958. It’s 2014.”

Obama said that it was time for Congress to pass laws that created a more family-friendly workplace environment.

“A woman deserves to take a day off to care for a sick child or a parent without running into hardship. A woman deserves work place policies that protect her right to have a baby without losing her job.”

“It’s pretty clear that, you know, if men were having babies, we’d have different policies. Right?”
