Let's take a closer look at five Republicans who voted against the renewal of a bill which gives legal protections to women who are victims of violence.
After the vote on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), the prospect of taking control of the Senate just became a little more remote.
As The Daily Caller noted, many of the Republicans who have considered or who have announced plans to run for the Senate decided to vote against the bill.

That legislation provides
"$1.6 billion toward investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women, imposes automatic and mandatory restitution on those convicted, and allows civil redress in cases prosecutors chose to leave unprosecuted. The Act also establishes the Office on Violence Against Women within the Department of Justice."
The bill covered many important topics such as human trafficking, domestic violence (including during pregnancy) sexual slavery, forced abortion, sexual violence, marital rape and many other crimes that tend to target women. Any no vote would logically require some kind of explanation to the public.
In this post I would like to shine a spotlight on five Congressmen and women who have dreams of a revered Senate seat but who also decided to deny women suitable protections against violence.
