One thing rightwingers always ignore when they get mad about women being able to initiate a divorce, is that without that peaceful option, we had a shit ton more widows...

Some got caught and tried for murder, but you'd have to be very ignorant to think most weren't getting away with it thru less obvious means.

Back someone in a corner long enough, and they're gonna take the only option they have. That's human nature.
