Yes. This is an issue that needs to be heard. We need to speak out loud and clear. A sad fact is that the leading cause of death for pregnant women is being killed by the father of the baby to come. I've wanted to make a bumper sticker that says:"Fight Terrorism, Stop Domestic Violence". The deaths and woundings attributable to domestic violence are far greater in number than the lost lives on 9/11, and the long term effects on the quality of our culture are incalculatable. The indifference shown by the military regarding the civilian casualties in Iraq is an expression of the same attitude...whatever it takes to maintain the pecking order. The irony is that men are victimized much more than women and children in this system. Abusers see themselves primarily as victims. Our nuclear arsenol doesn't represent our awesome strength, it indicates the extreme degree of fear upon which our military is founded. *a note about single mothers; studies are starting show how children benefit more from having a single mother.
