Video: Top Virginia GOP Official, Top Advisor to Ken Cuccinelli "I'm not a big fan of contraception"

http://bluevirginia.us/diary/9373/video-close-cuccinelli-aide-rpv-treasurer-im-not-a-big-fan-of-contraception-frankly

Among other things, this top adviser to Virginia GOP gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli says, "I'm not a big fan of contraception, frankly...I think there are some issues with giving morning-after pills to 12 year olds, and pretty soon I guess we'll hand them out to babies, I don't know." This advocate of "Christian abstinence" also says, "We have an entire generation of children who are in their teens, 50% of the ones that are sexually active have an STD."

(even if the stat is probably very inflated).

Also, I am against any pill being sold to a 12 year old over the counter, but I am sure this idiot does not object to a 12 year old buying Tylenol.
