VAWA is a nearly-billion-dollar-a-year extension of one of the major ways that Bill Clinton bought the support of the radical feminists. Why Republicans passed this bill is a mystery. It&#8217;s unlikely that the feminists who will spend all that money will ever vote Republican. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is this Ms. Schlafly&#8217;s way of trying to bring more violent men into the Republican fold? I&#8217;d dismiss her as a radical fluke except a known side effect of at least one state&#8217;s gay marriage ban removes women like the victim in this recent case from protection provided by anti-domestic violence laws.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s telling to me that I haven&#8217;t seen a single gay-marriage-ban proponent working to close this gap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohio.com\/mld\/ohio\/news\/14193109.htm\">ohio.com<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>DAYTON, Ohio &#8211; A constitutional amendment banning gay marriage bars prosecutors from charging some unmarried people under the state&#8217;s domestic violence law, a state appeals court ruled. <\/p>\n<p>Friday&#8217;s decision by the 2nd District Court of Appeals is the first from Ohio&#8217;s 12 appellate courts to rule that the Defense of Marriage amendment, passed by voters in 2004, means that the domestic violence law does not apply to unmarried people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Does this mean that those in favor of the gay marriage ban see gay marriage as a greater sin than murder?<\/p>\n<p>Also posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/abyss2hope.blogspot.com\">my blog, http:\/\/abyss2hope.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>***PLEASE NOTE***<br \/>\nThe comments on this post are open to feminist and pro-feminist posters only.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WCCO A woman is dead and her boyfriend is in custody after a weekend shooting in St. Paul, police said.
