Ken refused to sign a letter regarding the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) even though 47 other Attorneys General signed onto a letter supporting the legislation.<br /><br />3. Ken Cuccinelli backed legislation that would ban contraception.<br /><br />4. McAuliffe says Ken Cuccinelli’s views are too extreme and he will use his position as Governor to implement a radical socially conservative agenda.<br /><br />THE FACTS<br /><br />1. In 2011, the General Assembly passed legislation to apply health and safety regulations to abortion clinics. As Attorney General, Ken’s office simply ensured the law was implemented as passed. Even former Democrat Attorney General Tony Troy defended Ken saying he was simply doing his job, noting that Ken had done it correctly. It is worth noting that when these abortion clinics were inspected, over 80 violations were found, including dried blood and unclean instruments.<br /><br />2. It is standard practice in the Attorney General’s office NOT to sign onto letters supporting bills that can still be amended in the legislative process. For example, Ken also did not sign a letter regarding a piece of NRA-supported legislation for the same reason.<br /><br />Ken is the only candidate with a decades long record of protecting women. From starting a first-of-its-kind college effort to prevent sexual assault, to running multiple domestic violence programs, and as Attorney General, Ken was the first to devote staff to fight human trafficking to protect women from being forced into sexual servitude. His office has made historic progress against the horrors of human trafficking. Due to the OAG’s efforts, Virginia was recently recognized by the Polaris Project (a national victims’ advocacy group) for being one of the most improved states in fighting human trafficking.<br /><br />3. Ken’s position is that government shouldn’t have a role in regulating contraception and he has no intentions of doing so as Governor. He recently stated this at a public forum.<br /><br />4. Ken’s pro-family and pro-life views are well known. While he will continue to work to protect innocent life, he has made it known his focus as Governor will be to grow the economy, create jobs, and ease burdens on middle-class families. That’s why both the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s TechPAC, and the National Federation of Independent Businesses – Virginia’s small businesses – have endorsed Ken.<br /><br />It’s important to point out that Terry McAuliffe’s position on abortion is well outside the mainstream. McAuliffe supports taxpayer-funded abortions and abortion for sex selection – views that are far out-of-line with mainstream VirginiansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
