What is this stupid Violence Against Women Act, and why do all these whining, lying women think it is up to "the law" to protect them from their meathead husbands' flying fists? And while the Eagle Forum is wondering, why is some stupid congresslady bitching about how when she got raped, and her attacker was put on trial, she kept getting asked about, like, why she was a single mom, and why she was dressed so slutty, and didn't she seduce her attacker by being a slutty-dressed single mom? Why wasn't she on trial for raping her fine upstanding gentleman, by forcing him to rape her? Sorry, Joe Biden, but Eagle Forum has just CRUSHED your precious VAWA, with LOGIC, why don't you GET SOME?

Here in its entirety is a blog post by Roger Schlafly (son of Phyllis), so you don't have to click over there. (Oh, is that bad linky etiquette? Sorry.)

What VAWA is about

AP reports:

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Republicans set up a showdown Wednesday with the Senate and President Barack Obama over legislation to protect women from domestic violence, a fight that's become as much about female voters this election year as cracking down on abuse. ...

"The man I married had a penchant for drinking and was very violent when he drank," the bill's sponsor, freshman Rep. Sandy Adams, R-Fla., said during floor debate.

Really? Is that what the law is about? Is VAWA going to somehow use federal law to protect women from marrying men who like to get drunk and crazy?

Wisconsin Democrat Gwen Moore recalled what it was like to try to press charges against her rapist in the days before the law's passage.

"I took him to court (but) indeed, I was on trial," Moore said. "I had to prove, as a victim, that I was not being fraudulent in my accusations. They brought up how I was an unwed mother with a baby. Maybe I seduced him. They talked about how I was dressed."

So she testified in court that a man raped her, but did not want to answer questions about whether she seduced the man. She wants a federal law to presume that men are guilty so that female accusers do not have to answer embarrassing questions.

Another hot VAWA issue is visas:

Ronan and his allies argue that there's what he calls a "big national fraud" in which immigrant women claim to be abuse victims in order to gain residency or citizenship through the act, which can offer women permanent residency if they testify against abusive husbands.

The Violence Against Women Act actually offers two avenues for victims of abuse to seek immigration relief. Women in the US illegally can currently seek temporary visas if they are victims of domestic violence.

More and more foreign women are getting permanent USA visas by making unverified accusations of abuse. We have an immigration policy that favors liars and whiners.

Hey women! If you want "the law" to "protect" you from getting beaten up, maybe you should have thought about being born men! And ladies, please stop raping everybody constantly with your seductive wiles and your motherhood! And immigrants, well, you are immigrants, which is so obvious we shouldn't even have to say it. Roger Schlafly rests his case!

Oh haha, just Eagle Forum being Eagle Forum, right? Yes, because now apparently the entire House GOP caucus is an honorary member. Good job, everybody! High fives all around!

Encases a brain? I mean, he can walk and breathe so he must have a functioning brain, at least at some level.
