In Attacking No Fault Divorce, JD Vance Would Put Millions of Women in Even Greater Danger

Domestic abusers are threatening and committing gun violence against women at epidemic levels.

According to data from Everytown.org, 5.4 million women have reported being threatened with a gun by an intimate partner. Take a moment with that statistic. 5.4 million.

In attacking no fault divorce, JD Vance, head cheerleader for Project 2025, wants to make it harder for these women to get divorced.

Couple that with JD Vance saying people need to be more willing to stay in unhappy marriages for the sake of their kids — and seeming to suggest that in some cases, “even violent” marriages should continue.

Here’s the quote: “This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, ‘well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that’s going to make people happier in the long term,’” Vance said.

So, let’s pay real close attention to JD Vance’s and Donald Trump’s Project 2025. What is it? It’s white men wanting to institutionalize a legal system in which men are allowed to abuse, possess and violently control women. It’s dominance-based patriarchy threaded through Christian nationalism but at its most basic level? It’s institutionalized, legalized lifetimes of violence/rape for women.
