Robin Fretwell Wilson, Ken Cuccinelli, and Natural Law

Robin Fretwell Wilson is a law professor at Virginia's Washington and Lee University. I have seen her name with increasing frequency recently in the debate over equal marriage rights. Here's her CV.

She is opposed to equal marriage rights. She recently testified before the DC City Council, and her testimony generated a rebuttal letter from councilmember David Catania.

I am further concerned that your misrepresentations may not have been accidental or inadvertent. Rather, your purported legal analysis and ethical judgment appear to be clouded by your political agenda. You are a member of the Virginia Marriage Commission, an organ of the Family Foundation of Virginia. The Family Foundation's stated goal is to promote the ideal that marriage "is the union between one man and one woman, is an institution of God and a foundation of civil society."

One of your colleagues at the Foundation is Maggie Gallagher, one of this country's most virulent opponents of marriage equality.

The Foundation's partners include other well known right-wing organizations including the Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, and the Alliance Defense Fund. In addition to opposing marriage equality, the Foundation opposes embryonic stem cell research, opposes the use of emergency contraceptives, and promotes the {defunding} of Planned Parenthood. Your failure to disclose your involvement with this organization, combined with your blatant misrepresentations before the Council, leads me to question the independence of your analysis.

I suspect that Virginians will be hearing lots more from Wilson. Why is that? Please take a look at her Washington and Lee law school website.

There is a link on that page to the Mt. Kopaonik School of Natural Law Family Law Conference Papers.

Google "Mt. Kopaonik School of Natural Law" It's in Serbia.

What is natural law? As many of you recall, Virginia's incoming attorney general Ken Cuccinelli based his distate for gays as an outgrowth of natural law. Don't be surprised if Robin Fretwell Wilson plays a big part in Ken Cuccinelli's administration. Expect the arguments against equal rights to be based on papers presented at a law school in Serbia.

Again, everything comes full circle. Connect the dots.

1. Virginians really fucked up

Thanks to those conservadems, independents, and the rest of the braindead fucks who voted for McDonnell, Bolling, and Cuccinelli.

For the next 4 years Virginia will return to the past, McDonnell has already said he plans to take away state funding of Planned Parenthood, and that's probably just the beginning.

And a special thank you goes out to those Democratic purists who wouldn't vote for Deeds because of his support for opting out and his comments on cap and trade.


On edit: It's only 4 years. Thanks to mahatmakanejeeves for catching my mistake.
