The Women's Protection Act, passed by Pakistan's largest province of Punjab recently, gives legal protection from domestic, psychological and sexual violence against women.
In an All-Parties Conference convened by Pakistan's Oldest Islamic Political Party and attended by powerful religious groups asked the government to retract the law because it is "Un-Islamic" since it gives unprecedented protection to female victims of violence.

Your Attention Please!
A significant number of my loyal readers just jumped to the false conclusion that I am making this entire Blog Posting up. I am not doing any such thing!
I will give you a link below that will prove that I am not making this foolishness up. It is up to you whether you click on the link and waste your time reading all about it.
If you do click on the link I am expecting a Comment of Apology in the Comments Section at the end of this Blog Posting from each and every one of you who wasted time checking out my veracity.
Want some highlights of the article?

Obviously many people in Pakistan think opposition to this law makes perfect sense. They have the laws of the country set up exactly the way they want them to be set up.
However, this did start me thinking about what could happen if our laws were used to aggressively accomplish goals that some in the Good Ole USofA believe made perfect sense.
These people would look you straight in your unbelieving face and say that we need laws that are more sympatric to individual circumstances and they would jump to the defense of my Recommended New Laws below and look shocked when anyone would tell them that my new laws are Silly...
Ø Drunk drivers ought to be allowed to drive faster because they stayed to long at the bar drinking and the extra time drinking has caused them to be behind schedule.
Ø Burglars have to make a living too. Home Security Systems are making it difficult for them to feed their families, therefore, Home Security Systems ought to be outlawed.
Ø If you decide that you no longer want to pay your Income Tax, you ought to be allowed to stop paying your Income Taxes. In order to keep our Federal Government humming along, the people who stop paying their Income Taxes ought to be allowed to designate who should have to pay the taxes that they have decided not to pay.
Special Note To My Elected Representatives in Congress: Once these 3 laws are enacted, send me a Tweet and I will come up with 3 more. Don’t worry about bothering me. I did not have to think very hard to come up with these 3.
Would I kid u?
