Check out this post on DailyKos by Democracy For Virginia's Maura Keaney on our opponent for the 13th District. Keaney does yet another excellent job summing up who we are up against this November.
Now that Marshall has been in office since 1992 (and is so accepted as an incumbent that he didn't even have a Democratic challenger in 2003), he is not as worried about moderating his views. Oh, he still tries to pass himself off as a reasonable person, but his recent legislation reveals his extremism.Of course, Marshall's not stepping up to introduce extreme legislation in pursuit of the American Life League's goals to ban all abortions in all circumstances, ban use of emergency contraception, and, in fact, ban all artificial contraception at all as ALL espouses, but he has let his extremism slip through in bills such as HB1807, which essentially would have made it a felony to for a mom to provide birth control to a teenage daughter who had been raped. This bill, luckily, failed. But many of Marshall's others have succeeded.

Special thanks to Beaverhausen for spreading the word about Team Roemmelt's campaign for Virginia's 13th District.
Bruce Roemmelt is running against the number one homophobe in the Virginia House of Delegates. His opponent Delegate Robert Marshall is a man who submitted four floor amendments to try to retain a law that prohibited private companies from offering health insurance to the life partners of their gay employees. (No other state has such a prohibition.)
