Yay we can get protective orders!

So one of the big things about Yeardly Love's case was that she couldn't have gotten a protective order against her ex-boyfriend if she tried. THANKFULLY that's now changed!

Late last month the bill HB2063 changed the law that specifies only people who could get protective orders were spouses against their partners.

It began as HB2340 but of course a republican had to go and steal Del Morrisseys thunder... But I guess if it helps college aged women (the demographic most likely to experience IPV) I don't really care which party got it passed.

Good step forward Virginia. Somewhat restores my faith in humanity!
