A recent story in in the Washington Post details some info that McDonnell wrote about in his thesis at Pat Roberson Regent University. Is McDonnell interested in turning back the clock on working women, women's rights, and reproductive choice? He said he was against birth control for married couples!!!??
The Political Wire has these tidbits:
The Washington Post digs up a master's thesis written by Virginia gubernatorial candidate Robert McDonnell (R) in which he described working women and feminists as "detrimental" to the family.
McDonnell also said government policy should favor married couples over "cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators." And he described as "illogical" a 1972 Supreme Court decision legalizing the use of contraception by unmarried couples.....
Wow! McDonnell must think the year is 1709 instead of 2009! What kind of backward-thinking person is McDonnell?
A picture tells it all (source: Who is the Real Bob McDonnell?):
Seriously, if this guy is endorsed by George Allen and Fred
Thompson, I'd stay away. We are known by the company we keep.
Virginia has been very progressive and I'd hate to see it turn back the clock because of some ancient, long held beliefs of Bob McDonnell. Is Virginia ready to move in that direction?
