Ken "I-Never-Met-a-Fetus-I-Didn't-Respect-More-Than-a-Grown-Woman" Cuccinelli, who is the manufactured (because he was nominated by a party convention, not in a primary) Republican candidate for Governor in the Commonwealth of Virginia, must have looked at his recent poll numbers with women and thrown up.
Why? Because Cootchy has rushed out with a desperate statement today. After having endorsed a "personhood amendment" and other extreme right-wing positions to restrict Virginians' reproductive rights, Cootch is now swearing up and down that oh, gosh, no — he would never dream of interfering with people's choice of birth control if he's elected Governor this fall.
To which we cats say, piffle. We have two words for anyone who's tempted to believe Cuccinelli's protest: PAT McCRORY.
Yep, the execrable Republican Governor of North Carolina, who has presided over his state's recent regression into the Stone Age, vowed during his campaign that he would take no action to restrict his constituents' access to abortion. And then, once elected, he promptly did.
So, Virginia women: Believe Ken Cuccinelli at your peril. We, meanwhile, will be working hard to elect Terry McAuliffe instead.
