Helping the Politically Fashionable
22nd April 2008
EACH YEAR, more than 1,200 women in the United States are killed by their husbands or boyfriends.
That’s … what … 24 per state? And Maryland is a small state, so it’s probably even less than that. Funny that the magnificant Washington Post couldn’t come up with an exact number for Maryland, the subject of the article.
Every year more than 40,000 people are killed in motor vehicle accidents. This is 30-35 times more than the “husbands and boyfriends” toll. And yet the Post doesn’t seem all that concerned about it.
Wonder why that is?
