Some of it is reminiscent of what republicans say to this day

But I heard about a congressman who had a very, very different point of view. Do you know what he called this important piece of legislation? He called it the "take the fun out of marriage act." The take the fun out of marriage act. Ladies and gentlemen, that was in 1984 in the United States and I wish I had Twitter. Ten years later, after lots of hard work we finally passed the Violence Against Women Act, which is a life changing act that has saved so many lives.
