NH law maker criticized for comment

A NH lawmaker was recently criticized for making the following comment:

“Some people could make the argument that a lot of people like being in abusive relationships. It’s a love-hate relationship. It’s very, very common for people to stick around with somebody they love who also abuses him or her. … Is the solution to those kind of dysfunctional relationships going to be more government, another law? I’d say no. People are always free to leave.”

Many critics found this insensitive to victims of domestic violence.  Follow the link below for more on the story.  What do you think?  Do you believe the comment was completely inappropriate or thoughtful debate about governments place in social issues?
