MacCallum: I think most women don’t want to be treated as sort of  a special class of citizens. They want to go to work every day, they want to get paid for being a professional, for doing their job really well. And they don’t want to be treated like some group of people who have to be, you know, given a little special handout just to make sure that they’re okay.

Colmes: It’s not a special handout. It’s equality. It’s equal pay for equal work. It’s having … pregnancy leave.

MacCallum: Many women make exactly what they’re worth, Alan.

Colmes: Exactly what they’re worth? Are they not worth the same amount of money for the same job?

MacCallum: I’m saying they’re worth a heck of a lot.

Carlson: Women make more than men if you adjust for the time they take off, voluntarily. Like, that’s not — that’s a fact. How can you explain that?

Colmes: It’s not voluntary. Women get pregnant; men don’t. It’s not voluntarily … they involuntarily don’t get back to the workplace in some cases.
