Wanna know why? Up in New Hampshire, there's a couple of bills up for consideration. One is an amendment to defund Planned Parenthood and weaken domestic violence laws (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/18/new-hampshire-planned-parenthood-funding-domestic-violence-arrests_n_1213208.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003).
Under a new Tea Party backed bill, if this goes through, the cops have to witness Domestic Violence before an arrest can be made. That's right folks. If you get beaten by your husband/boyfriend/fucktoy/partner/whatever, they may not get arrested. Cause that's how the Tea Party rolls.

:o
Damn, I should know better than to underestimate their stupidity by now. But I keep on doing it! What is wrong with me?

NH's teabaggers can kindly take their anti-women laws and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Isn't it funny that their most prominent champions have all been women?

Hmm... I needed a topic for my paper for my domestic violence class. I did have an idea, but I wonder if I could turn this into a 20-pager...

Well the Tea Party sure aren't the only people who want to overturn domestic violence bills.
And the title for this thread should "definitely not for ANYBODY" Although then, every thread about them would be named similar.

Neighbor state is going wack-a-doo again, still not surprised. Here's hoping sanity dawns on the lot of 'em before them embarrass themselves again.
-
Well, considering Tea Partiers are basically the white trash people you see shirtless on "COPS" involved in domestic disputes anyway, I can't say I'm surprised.
...okay, I was kind of kidding around with that. But that kind of change to the law is horrifying and gives abusers more power and incentive to abuse again.
-
Now that's not true , the tea party is for women...self-loathing ones

New Hampshire lawmakers will also consider two bills on Thursday that would roll back the state's domestic violence laws, which up until now have been the strongest in the country. House Bill 1581, sponsored by state Rep. Dan Itse (R-Fremont), would prevent law enforcement from being able to immediately arrest an abuser who has assaulted his partner unless the officer has actually witnessed the crime take place. Under current law, the police can arrest an abuser based on probable cause.
"This means that if 911 has been called, and they see a victim who was assaulted and is bleeding, they wouldn't be able to arrest that person unless they went back and got a warrant," explained Amanda Grady, director of public policy for the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. "This is how it was in late-'70s before states decided to put victim protections in place."
The other domestic violence bill, House Bill 1608, limits the grounds for which an officer can arrest an abuser who violates a domestic violence protective order. The law enforcement community in New Hampshire, including the Dept. of Safety, Attorney General's office, and Chiefs of Police Association, and domestic violence workers are all vehemently opposed to the bill.
According to state statistics, 38 percent of homicides in 2011 were domestic violence-related, and the vast majority of domestic violence cases were perpetrated by men again woman.
"The passage of [these laws] will likely result in further injuries and could possibly have lethal consequences for victims and their children," Grady told HuffPost.
You...have got to be kidding me. Love-shy, the political version. >.<

Now now be nice. White trash didn't harm anyone. Sometimes they can't help it. So don't insult them.
By the way this change in the law is horrible. Do these Tea Party politicians know what they are doing?
-
FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK, FUCK FUCK. FUCK.
That is all I have to say, home state. I am that ashamed of you right now.

Of course they do. It's yet another attack on women's rights. Because the Tea Party is a bunch of pig headed old men who want women back in the kitchen, barefoot, preggers, making them a sammich.
Ironbite-so hop to it ladies.
-
Once again, fuck them.
-
true Ironbite.
I just don't want you to make fun of white trash by comparing them to teabaggers, that's all.
-
Who can seriously think this would be a good idea? How can a senator sit in their office and think that they really need to relax domestic abuse laws. How does one even think this up unless they themselves were recently arrested for domestic violence.
This just completely boggles my mind. I just don't get it.
How on earth do these people get elected into power and still get support?

NH doesn't really have a lot of career politicians; the laws tend to discourage that because they're paid $100 a year plus gas fees. So you get volunteers, usually people who have the time to go to the state house once a month or more. That means retirees (those who look back on better times) and unemployed people (who probably aren't terribly well educated). Which creates a perfect storm of clusterfuckery.

This...
This is...
And yet you know they'll be the first to complain if some woman shoots the man who repeatedly abuses her.
-
I don't understand what the Tea Party would have to gain from this.
And the title for this thread should "definitely not for ANYBODY" Although then, every thread about them would be named similar.
I agree here. Domestic violence can and does happen to everyone.
-
Question, if the girlfriend or wife's relative finds out and beats up the bf/husband, and the bf/husband presses charges, can the police arrest the person without seeing the incident?
-
true Ironbite.

In many cases they are one and the same.

and yet I am certain that you can find plenty of tea party women who will happily support and advocate for all of these things.
Cons working against their own interests is practically a cliche now. Or is it a trope?
-
You know, "weakining" is an understatement. They're practically making the laws unenforceable, and therefore useless.
-

Ironic. Misogynist women are the worst kind of misogynists. Traitor scum!
-
I feel sorry for them, internalized oppression is the most insidious kind.

Eventually it will be mandatory to leave no bruises.
