Opinion: It’s Time to Support Victims and Protect Our Communities
Rape and sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking are pervasive problems in our society. No community is unaffected. Recognizing this, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994 to improve the nation’s response to gender-based violence. It has been reauthorized three times since then, in 2000, 2005, and 2013; each reauthorization made vital improvements to previous law. VAWA is up for reauthorization again, providing us with the opportunity to make modest but meaningful improvements to strengthen protections for victims, especially those who are most vulnerable.

Anti-choice Democrat? Not a thing.
Democrats For Life Of America hosted their first conference right here in Aurora, CO, asserting that the Democratic Party make room for “pro-life” Democrats. The point of the Democratic Party is to protect the rights and the well-being of working- class, middle-class, and lower-class Americans. Oppressing women and their choice to do what they want with their body is the polar opposite of what real Democrats want for America. DFLA is simply a scheme to turn Democrats into anti-choice, anti-women conservatives. They do this by convincing unsuspecting Democrats that you can be anti-choice and a Democrat, but that’s untrue.

What’s In A Name? Walker Stapleton Has To Take The Good – And The Bad
What’s in a name? Trust me, as someone with a surname that has a downside, it’s a double-edged sword. Since childhood, I have heard bad jokes about my name (although nothing original in decades). When I was single, friends joked that I should marry a man with the surname of Butt and hyphenate my last name. Hyphenation of my name with any other is pretty much out of the question. The upside of my name is that it IS memorable. And luckily, my family always encouraged a healthy sense of humor and a lot of education.
