VIDEO: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LEGAL EXPERT CONDEMNS JD VANCE’S STATEMENTS …
… AT SCOTT BAUGH-FOUNDED SCHOOL THAT WOMEN WHO EXPERIENCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHOULD STAY IN ABUSIVE MARRIAGES
IRVINE, CA — Today, Professor Jane Stoever–Director of the UCI Domestic Violence Clinic–made a statement to camera about extremist Scott Baugh’s allegiance to bizarro VP pick JD Vance, who stated that women in violent marriages should stay in them. New LA Times and OC Register reporting revealed that Vance made the comments at the Orange County school founded and trusteed by CA-47 Republican nominee Scott Baugh.
Professor Stoever teaches Family Law and Legal Ethics and directs the UCI Law Domestic Violence Clinic, which represents abuse survivors in civil, criminal, immigration, and policy interventions in abuse. She also directs the interdisciplinary UCI Initiative to End Family Violence and co-chairs the Orange County Domestic Violence Death Review Team. She is also spouse of State Senator Dave Min, and the pair have passed seven DV bills into law (with another two pending this year), including first-in-the-nation laws that recognize reproductive coercion as a form of domestic violence and provide DV survivors with the ability to cancel coerced debt they took on because they were threatened by their abusers.
