WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. Vice President Joe Biden marked the 16th anniversary of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, which he helped draft when he was a senator from Delaware.
"I was raised to believe that the cardinal sin any human could commit was to abuse power: economic, physical, or any other kind," Biden said at the reception Wednesday at the Naval Observatory. "Violence against women is the very worst abuse."
