Dubs Tee Eff, medicine??

According to this NPR article, women doctors are earning on average $17,000 less than their male counterparts.

This is even after taking into account fewer work hours, time off for maternity leave, etc.

What the heck??

I guess it's still a man's world after all.
PFFT.

Minority talk from a former Republican senator

Rick Santorum, a former Republican senator who is considered to be a potential GOP presidential challenger to Obama in 2012,  says it is surprising that Obama does not oppose abortion rights (double negatives, my specialty).

[Source] So this is mostly unrelated, but when Google-searching Santorum, the first page of results featured a picture of him as Hitler.
According to the NPR article, Santorum compares the battle to obtain civil rights for unborn fetuses (redundancy, another one of my specialties) to the one fought by African Americans in the 1950s.

I'm sorry, did he just compare black people to fetuses?

I don't really know how, but I'm sure that has to be racist.
