small business owners, lawyers, doctors, soldiers,
athletes, professors, homemakers and much, much
more. But, simply because women have made
tremendous strides over the past century to achieve
equality, it does not mean that Congress can ignore
issues that are important to women. ~Rep. Joe Baca

10. Women’s Safety and Preventive Care
Congressman Baca also worked hard to protect Title X funding for health care
provider Panned Parenthood, responsible for providing health care to over five
million people a year. Planned Parenthood provides nearly two million cancer
screenings a year, and is the leading health care provider for low-income women.
Food Stamps, WIC and Nutrition Programs
Congressman Baca worked with his colleagues to procure a $19.9 billion increase in
food stamp benefits to offset rising food costs and $150 million for food-banks to
refill their shelves; allowing them to help hundreds of thousands of low income
women and children who rely on these food banks to put food on the table. As many
families in the 43rd Congressional District and all across the country are still facing
tough economic situations, Congressman Baca has strongly opposed current
Republican efforts to eliminateWomen’s Infant and Children (WIC) and
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP) funding. He will continue to
protect these vital programs, which ensure women and children have affordable
access to healthy and nutritious foods.

12. Combat Pay Check Discrimination
Co-sponsored H.R. 11 - Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. This Legislation will help
combat pay discrimination and restore rights of women and other workers to
challenge fair pay, including helping close the wage gap where women earn $0.78 for
every $1.00 a man earns in America. Signed into Law by President Obama on
January 29, 2009.
Equal Work, Equal Pay
Congressman Baca is currently working with colleagues to close the wage gap. The
Paycheck Fairness Act seeks to end wage discrimination against those who work in
female dominated or minority dominated jobs by establishing equal pay for equal
work. This legislation would increase enforcement of equal payment of wages
nationwide and bar retaliations against workers who disclose their wages.
