VAWA 2005 Bill Introduced to Congress Yesterday

Roy writes "A Press Release from Joseph Biden’s (D-DE) office yesterday announces the bill to reauthorize and expand funding for the Violence Against Women Act. Obviously there is no mention in the bill about male victims of DV. In cleverly worded language, the bill seeks to increase funding while "saving money." Special goals include more anti-boy "education" in our schools, mandating DV "home visitations," making employers pay for female’s leave-from-work due to alleged DV, requiring doctor’s to interrogate patients about DV, and expanding the hysteria about the non-existent campus rape crisis.
