Our country is at risk. Domestic violence threatens our nation, our children, and those that are yet to be born. Our present plight did not appear over night, and the responsibility for our current situation is widespread.

We must also have a willingness to understand the long term effects of Post-Traumatic Stress and it's impact on women as well as children. It is to each of us that the imperative is addressed. Active steps must be taken now.
