Ken Cuccinelli has made a career out of getting in our business, from our bedrooms to our doctor's offices. What could your life look like if he became governor? Try it yourself with our photobomb tool.
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli keeps popping up where he doesn’t belong—in the doctor’s office and in the bedroom—trying to put himself in the middle of our private medical decisions.
Called “the most overtly partisan attorney general in Virginia’s history.” Do you know where he stands on women’s health issues?
Besides being the first attorney general in the country to file a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), many people still don’t know much about Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia. Here’s a quick primer on where Ken Cuccinelli stands when it comes to women’s health.
This past weekend, supporters from across the state joined us for a Keep Ken Out Rally at the Republican State Nominating Convention. Women’s health supporters gathered early Saturday morning—in spite of the rain—to show Virginia voters that Ken Cuccinell’s record and agenda is too extreme and out-of-touch with the majority of Virginians. Among the …
Read MoreToday is the first day of the Virginian Republican Nominating Convention. Even though Ken Cuccinelli will officially become the Republican nominee for governor (as the only Republican candidate), the state party isn’t exactly united behind him. He is loved by the Tea Party crowd (not surprising considering he calls himself a Tea Party “groupie”), but …

Read MorePlanned Parenthood’s political arm plans to crash the Republican Party of Virginia’s state convention this weekend as part of its ongoing effort to convince voters that GOP gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli II is “wrong for women’s health and wrong for Virginia.”
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund will rally at the convention on Saturday, when the current attorney general — who is the sole Republican candidate — is expected to accept his party’s nomination for governor. The group has launched a Web site, KeepKenOut.org and president Cecile Richards said defeating Cuccinelli is one of the organization’s top priorities.
Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the national family planning provider, launched a series of web ads on Wednesday that aim to keep Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli out of the governor’s office.
The ads highlight Cuccinelli’s record on women’s health issues as part of the group’s “Keep Ken Out” campaign. Cuccinelli, a Republican, has vocally opposed abortion rights as attorney general, without exceptions for rape, incest or when the woman’s health is in danger. He has also been accused of strong-arming the state’s Board of Health into passing a set of physical building requirements for abortion clinics that could shut down most of the clinics in the state.
An affiliate group associated with Planned Parenthood has now formally endorsed the candidacy of Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic nominee for the office of governor of Virginia. The presumed Republican nominee, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, has already been endorsed by the pro-life group the Susan B. Anthony List.
Both groups have already begun spending on the gubernatorial contest. Planned Parenthood has commercials on the internet. The SBA List has begun a radio campaign.
Will his college record and prosecuting human traffickers be enough to make women voters feel warm and fuzzy about him? I doubt it.
Cuccinelli remains unwilling or unable to set forth an agenda that women, and indeed all voters, can relate to. In the absence of any affirmative argument for his own candidacy, he is trying to beat to death the tax issue — not our taxes but Terry McAuliffe’s decision not to release his. It hasn’t resonated so far and isn’t likely to, given that the press is disinclined to treat McAuliffe as they treated Mitt Romney.
