Was banning gays from having legally protected relations by passing the defense of marriage amendments so important that it was worth stripping domestic violence protections from unmarried women? Or was that the intention all along?

Women were a casualty of the religious right's war to put religion in the law. We were less important that putting the screws to you.

And no matter what Tim above says, the domestic violence laws allow police to prevent an abuser from returning to his own home, allow the police to make a presumptive arrest, and allow the woman to seek a restraining order in a more comprehensive manner, and these defense of marriage laws now allow married abused women more protection than unmarried abused women. He's making apologies for putting women in harm's way.

of direction kin violence is a criminal offense and is robotically prosecuted contained in the rustic at present. i'm no longer responsive to any help for kin violence so i'd assume extremely some help for all of us attacking it with classes. Are there any you're suggesting? on the different hand, it truly is like conserving that Mussolini shouldn't were deposed because Hitler and Stalin were a lot worse. at the same time as the actual shown reality that Hitler and Stalin were worse does no longer mean that Mussolini wasn't a dictator who needed to be bumped off. In answer on your very last question, kin violence is the better probability. i'm thrilled to hearken to that you concentrate on gay marriage a probability, only that there are some higher ones.

They may not fall under domestic protection laws, but the law against assault is still in play. As would the law of self-protection if a battered girlfriend smacks an abusive boyfriend with a frying pan.

That is insane!
Christians wonder why people on here don't like their beliefs. Once again an example of legislating religion.
