They have their own, competing version that women's advocates say won't cut it. Government Thu, 15 Mar 2012 16:27:04 -0500 If you looked at the real-world results of this law, you'd find almost no one has benefited from VAWA. Sure, shelters and programs abound, but the actual help to citizens is either negligible or negative. It's an ugly situation that needs to be examined in light of this century's realities. Government Thu, 17 May 2012 08:04:38 -0500 Democrats don't give a tinker's damn about violence against straight men. Rather than directly address the serious issue of domestic violence, Democrats would rather demonize their political opponents. Its really disappointing. PRI: Public Radio International
