Abuse Bowl? True or False?

: "Back in Jan. 28, 1993, three days before the Super Bowl game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., a press conference was held by a coalition of women's groups. Calif. Senator Sheila Kuehl, then the director of the California Women's Law Center, said beatings and hospital admissions rose 40 percent in northern Virginia after the Redskins won the Super Bowl in 1989. She cited a study done by Virginia's Old Dominion University in 1990."

Go read the artical. Most police and shelter personnel say this is not true! Good, I don't want to believe it anyway!

MotherJones.com | MoJo Blog - Social Issues and Political Commentary: Abused Women Have Higher Health Care Costs and More Health Care Visits: "A new study shows that women who experience spouse or partner abuse have much higher health care costs and utilize more health care services than women who have no history of such violence. Years after abuse stops, these women continue to use the health care system more and to incur higher costs.

The abuse discussed in the study includes not only overt physical abuse, but also threats, controlling behavior and verbal abuse. Of the 3,333 women, aged 18 to 64, those who had been abused had 19% higher annual health care costs than other women. This group also had17% more primary health care visits, 14% more specialist visits, and 27% more prescription refills."
