Did we just travel back in time?
1. Fox News’ Liz Trotta believes that the Pentagon shouldn’t be surprised by the 64% rise in violent sexual assault in the military since 2006.
2. Rick Santorum and his outdated Freudian views on women. (ahem, anyone remember this little beaut? “The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness.” and don’t forget his belief that acts outside of traditional heterosexual relationships “undermine the fabric of our society” and “leads to an unhealthy culture”.)
3. “Personhood” amendment.
4. Sen. Charles Grassley objects the VAWA reauthorization due to provisions which would include protections for LGBT individuals, undocumented immigrants who are victims of domestic abuse (note: VAWA has always protected this group of individuals, but the reauthorization would raise the cap on visas for battered women and sexual assault victims from 10,000 to 15,000) and the authority of Native American tribes to prosecute crimes.
