Thats why so many supporters of services of Domestic Violence is opposing this amendment, and that includes the National Task force to end domestic and sexual violence, the u. S. Conference of catholic bishops, leo, the Law Enforcements group. They oppose this because they say it will make victims of Domestic Vio
