VAWA: Maybe It Should Be Called the “I Lied and Got Him Thrown in Jail Act”
Writing in the New York Post, Abby W. Schachter suggests that there is an alternative name for the Violence Against Women Act:
What’s in a name? You are probably for reauthorization of the “Violence Against Women Act.” Whereas you may not be in favor of reauthorizing the ‘I lied to the police and got him thrown in jail for 10 months’ act. And yet the two are the very same piece of legislation. …
Schachter quotes at length from a piece by the Independent Institute’s Mary Theroux.
