Since voting for the "Blunt Amendment", which would have eliminated the requirement that health insurance cover contraceptives, Sen. Lisa Murkowski has professed remorse and promised to support women's issues. Actions speak louder than words.

So I have to ask: Does Sen. Murkowski's vote against the "Paycheck Fairness Act," mean that she is willing to be paid 77 percent of what her male colleagues earn?
