Would you support a law that forbids plea deals to child abusers, child killers or child rapists?
We understand why plea deals are given. Even with strong evidence, a trial can be uncertain. A plea deal provides the prosecution with a "guaranteed" conviction but all too often child abusers, child killers and child rapists are getting a slap on the wrist. Our children deserve better. They deserve to be protected from these monsters.
Child Rights Activist Donna Kshir is petitioning in Pennsylvania for and hopes to have a Zero Tolerance Law put into place to protect children. Donna shares with Laurie Ann Smith on a recent episode of the Women Like Me Podcast. Listen to a brief clip of their discussion.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
