  An undercover investigation by the women's rights group NARAL has shown that right wing "crisis pregnancy centers" in Virginia are misinforming and misleading pregnant women seeking counseling. The centers, strongly backed by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, are promoted as an alternative to Planned Parenthood. NARAL secretly recorded a conversation between a crisis pregnancy center employee and a young woman that shows the employee lecturing her about having sex before marriage and giving her blatantly false information regarding various forms of contraception. The employee also imposes her religious views on the woman and how god's plan is for women to only have sex within a marriage.

  Oct 26 2009

  My view is that homosexuals are wrong. They’re intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that. … They don’t comport with natural law. I happen to think that it represents (to put it politely; I need my thesaurus to be polite) behavior that is not healthy to an individual and in aggregate is not healthy to society.
