Roberts Doesn't Think Women Should be Lawyers

Posted on August 18, 2005 by Christopher McKinney
According to an article in today's Washington Post analyzing John Roberts' past writings:
Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. consistently opposed legal and legislative attempts to strengthen women's rights during his years as a legal adviser in the Reagan White House, disparaging what he called "the purported gender gap" and, at one point, questioning "whether encouraging homemakers to become lawyers contributes to the common good." [emphasis mine]
And, just in case you were wondering, Roberts wrote this in the 1980's not the 1950's.Sexual Harassment, Pregnancy Discrimination, Age Discrimination, San Antonio, Employment Lawyer
