Looks to me like Paul Ryan comes off even worse in this video than even Todd Akin or Richard Mourdock-- and he has no problem with rape exceptions either. On top of that, he says Lilly Ledbetter was not an equal pay law." He was talking about the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 which states that the 180-day statute of limitations for filing an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets with each new paycheck affected by that discriminatory action. The law directly addressed the 2007 Supreme Court decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., that the statute of limitations for presenting an equal-pay lawsuit begins on the date that the employer makes the initial discriminatory wage decision, not at the date of the most recent paycheck. On January 7, 2009 the bill passed 250-177. Only 3 Republicans voted for it-- Ryan not among them. It's worth noting that the 5 right-wing Democrats who voted with the GOP against equal pay-- Dan Boren (Blue Dog-OK), Allen Boyd (Blue Dog-FL), Bobby Bright (Blue Dog-AL), Travis Childers (Blue Dog-MS), Parker Griffith (Blue Dog-AL)-- were all subsequently defeated for reelection or forced into retirement by the threat of defeat.
