These 22 Republican Senators pretty much hate women

Senators who voted against the Violence Against Women Act, 2/12/2013
vpbiden:

John Barrasso (R-WY)
Roy Blunt (R-MO)
John Boozman (R- AR)
Tom Coburn (R-OK)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Mike Enzi (R-WY)
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
James Inhofe (R-OK)
Mike Johanns (R-NE)
Ron Johnson (R-WI)
Mike Lee (R-UT)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Rand Paul (R-KY)
Jim Risch (R-ID)
Pat Roberts (R-KS)
Marco Rubio (R-FL)
Tim Scott (R-SC)
Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
John Thune (R-SD)
not a very surprising list, should be noted though that Orrin Hatch was a co-sponsor of the original 1994 legislation and, as ranking member of the Judiciary Committee to Joe Biden’s chair, played a huge role in getting Republican support

We women and men who love and respect women should do everything in our power to make sure they are voted out of office. Someone should start a vawa PAC dedicated to supporting their opponents.
