Women Against Abuse new study shows that when professional football games don't get as expected, domestic violence increases... A football game upset typically led to an 8 percent increase in police reports of at-home incidents where a man attacked a female partner.

She is a very brave woman. I hope it encourages others to leave. Abusers are cowards.

Women Against Abuse The PA Senate is considering cutting much needed funding for Domestic Violence services! Take action now!
Please call or write to your State Senators and urge them to keep funding for domestic violence services in House Bill 1861! (Find their contact info: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/)
House Bill 1861 allocates a port...ion of marriage and divorce fees to DV services throughout Pennsylvania. State funding for DV is even more critical in these tough economic times - This year alone, Women Against Abuse has had to turn away 2,552 women and children from shelter because out emergency shelter was at full capacity.

Who is writing that legislation?- A MAN of course. The biggest perpetrator of abuse both mentally and physically. I may live in Hawaii, but abuse is abuse no matter where in the world you live. If you don't want me then leave, don't be beating me up - it just perpetuates itself and the children caught up in this don't ever, ever, ever forget!! I know.

Women Against Abuse NFL player Shawne Merriman accused of strangling Tila Tequila. http://bit.ly/7wjYc Even if it's true that Merriman's only intention was to protect Tila Tequila from leaving the house intoxicated, knocking her over or strangling her are not appropriate actions. That's still domestic violence.

Often times, strangulation doesn't leave any sort of physical proof on the victim's body. One thing that can happen, though, is the appearance of tiny red spots (ruptured capillaries) in the eyes.

In reference to a paramedic not seeing any signs... does not mean that abuse did not occur. I can attest to the fact that a person can be hit, strangled, punched and or as you say knocked down and not be left with any markings that a paramedic or an officer of the law can see. Abusers know not to leave a trail and often times they know this while... See More they are hurting their spouse or loved one. They also know that if no one see this happening, it is their word against yours. So, this is a gross injustice for the victim. Not all abusers are not thinking, most of them do and that is how they continue their abuse onto their loved one for many years with the victim's plight going unnoticed. Unless you know the victim, you really should not be making this kind of speculation of her mental capacity and her being confused. It is this kind of assumption and thought pattern that keeps abusers among the masses.
