The coercive control law that could have saved Mica Francis has been drafted four times - four times it has died. Attorney Regina Ward knows exactly why — and exactly who is responsible.
In Part 2 Laura and Regina go beyond the Netflix documentary to examine the legal and political failures that left Mica with nowhere to turn, what it will take to pass Mica's Law, and why Regina — herself a survivor of coercive control — is never going to stop.
They also discuss the sermon. The one where JP Miller stood in front of his congregation and told them that withholding s@x from your husband is the same as r@pe and human tr@fficking. Laura's response says everything.
It's time for urgent change. These attitudes much be challenged, women need to be protected from abusers and the laws are not fit for purpose. TAKE ACTION NOW. It takes two minutes:
