Funding women's shelters is subsidizing the abuse of women!
It's politicized equivocation.

I'm fairly sure funding women's shelters is the opposite since victims of domestic violence can go to shelters to avoid abuse. But if it turns out there's a direct link between something like alcohol consumption and domestic abuse, you could posit that subsidizing alcohol in some way also subsidizes domestic violence.
