re: #93 Rightwingconspirator

Women in the US have a theoretical right to self defense against an abusive husband. Practically speaking they don’t necessarily have adequate support from law enforcement. The situation is improving, but there have certainly been women who were abused, and the local police sided with the husband.

The broader question remains-whose interpretation of “natural rights” would prevail? The founding fathers who said all men were created equal clearly were not thinking of blacks, whether or not they intended “men” to extend in any way to women.
