Vice President Joe Biden pushing for domestic violence law

In today's news, I found an article focusing on Vice President Joe Biden's support of the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act which some conservatives are fighting against. 


According to usnews.msnbc.msn.com, 


"Biden will be joined Wednesday by Attorney General Eric Holder, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, White House Advisor on Violence Against Women Lynn Rosenthal and Sharon Love, mother of Yeardley Love and founder of the One Love Foundation, to talk about the need to reauthorize the law."


I applaude Biden for taking a stand on such a touchy subject and supporting the Violence Against Women Act which will create for domestic abuse programs for victims of domestic violence. The one thing I do feel that needs to change is the gender specification of the law. Though a majority of the time women are the targets of domestic abuse,  there are still a significant amount of men who are victims and who should have equal access to such programs and assistance. 


I'm interested to know your thoughts and opinions on this?
