text_2: "McConnell’s ad claimed that he ""voted for even stronger protections than Obama’s agenda will allow."" Perhaps McConnell could argue that the mandatory minimum sentences Republicans required in their alternative made for a ""stronger"" bill, but advocates of domestic abuse awareness opposed this measure as unnecessary. And the Republican measure was absent several protections for certain groups that were included in the bill Obama signed. McConnell is within his right to oppose those provisions, but it makes it hard for him to prove that he supported ""stronger"" legislation."
