What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.
At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
