9/10-DOES AN ABUSED WOMAN HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY, “LEAVE US ALONE. WE LOVE EACH OTHER!”?

Americans used to be proud that their country cared deeply and desperately about every single life, be it a soldier slapped by an American general, a baby girl who fell into a well or a child who needs a rare blood-type transplant – other countries seemed to care little or nothing about one life.  America for some reason seemed to agree with the ancient Jewish mandate that proclaims, “He who saves but one life is as if he saved the entire world!”  Sara and Barry try to decide if the National Football League flap over Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice is a healthy manifestation of that nobel spirituality, or just more exploitative tabloid sleaze.
