63. That's true. And 'domestic violence' has literally been de-criminalized in some states.

Laws stricken off the books. Those are states where shelters, rape crisis centers and other help have not only been defunded as others, but repealed.

Several excuses offered to explain the lack of enforcement, although it was always inconsistent and varied by state. And it was a tool to neuter the federal VAWA

Here's a few I've read or heard about:

Women should stay with their abuser to keep themselves and their children off the welfare rolls;

Domestic abuse and rape laws are used to discriminate against men and break up the family to make them dependent on government;

Children of married couples do better than in single mom or female head of household than in divorced homes;

That the abuser is being denied the chance to support his family while he is locked up to keep him away from her;

I'm not even going into religious ones, since the excuse of 'lower taxes' works for more people.

States that dare to hold to account such crimes, are labeled 'police states' who break upon families to steal children for child sex slave rings.

Yes, they really do say that. After all, no government program or agency can be trusted. But churches and private groups are doing such a great job, aren't they?

The bottom line is the abuser can be trusted. If the woman is silent, the problem disappears. Along with her, too, sometimes...
