Places women at greater risk of violence
Promotes overly-aggressive law enforcement policies
Silences women’s voices
Promotes couple break-up, not reconciliation
Ignores the needs of abusive women
VAWA turns law-abiding citizens into criminals
Makes it harder for real victims to get the help they need

Geezus, talk about war on women

We do not know whether no-drop increases victim safety or places the victims in greater jeopardy
