Follow-up: How Happy is Ann Kuster about the VAWA Vote Now?
Yesterday I pointed out that according to Heritage the 2013 re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) included provisions that violated the constitution by giving Federal authority to tribal courts.
Today, we discover that the 78 Senators and 286 House members who voted (some happily) for S.47, the (Violence Against Women Re-authorization Act of 2013), also voted to prohibit the charging or prosecution of minors caught engaging in prostitution. Put another way…when they voted for the VAWA they effectively decriminalized child prostitution.
oops.
