1. Surprised that JD Vance didn't make one of his statements,

like "We don't need that kind of law. And BTW, women are too 'mouthy'".

2. Good point! Good Grief, with all that's going on these days regarding women's rights

We need this now more than ever...

3. Very good speech. My oldest granddaughter is getting out

of an abusive marriage so I have seen first hand the horrid damage an abuser can cause. Unfortunately, she is not willing to have him prosecuted even though she has witnesses to his physical abuse. I know it would be very hard for her to testify about such a situation, but other women need to be protected from him. We are getting counseling for her to help her put this behind her and start a new life.

4. I'm very glad that she's getting out

I have never understood why “men” need to dominate their partners like that.

5. Thank you. She is very lucky that she has strong family support.

So many women don't and feel stuck.

6. Yikes, I am so sorry! Glad to hear she's taking action and hope that the counseling will help
