New Report on Domestic Abuse

A new Center for Disease Control (CDC) survey reports that nearly 25% of American women suffer domestic abuse (the figure is almost 12% of men do).http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23056009/from/ET/
This is the CDC website--they do call this abuse "intimate partner abuse" I will post at another time my feelings about this renaming of battering, and what it does...but I am off to teach :)
