dogmatixRight, so, this is my stump and I'm using it. The House let the Violence Against Women Act lapse.
This means there will be less resources for abused women - less places to go, less people to turn to, less help for them in general. And the VAWA bill? Will have to start the approval process over from step one.
House Republicans have previously objected to inclusions of Native American women, immigrants, lesbians, and trans-women to the bill.
Saying that I am angry about this whole debacle is something of an understatement. If you can, please spread the word about this. If you have a teaspoon available to let your local politicians or media know that idiocy like this is not on, it would be much appreciated.
