As a woman of color I am particularly aggrieved that this bill ignores the special circumstances of women who are minorities, women who are in the shadows… Stop playing games with the lives of women… They don’t want to hear us talking about a war on women, but I mean this is a direct assault on women’s lives. Three women a day die from victimization. And I would implore my colleagues to stop playing games.
Wisconsin Representative Gwen Moore, telling the GOP why the new Violence Against Women Act is a really horrible idea. This was immediately after telling the House about her rape and choking and when she was dragged through the mud during the rapist’s trial. Which ended in a not guilty verdict.
