Fascist Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli's next target - Planned Parenthood.

"The group, California-based Live Action, called on Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to investigate the Planned Parenthood clinic, in Richmond, over what founder Lila Rose called its willingness to exploit young girls.

"Our new video shows their Richmond clinic willing to aid and abet the sexual exploitation of minors and coaching a pimp about how girls as young as 14 or 15 could circumvent parental consent laws for secret abortions," Rose said in a written statement."

Tea Party darling Cuccinelli's other crusades involve efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act, harassing University of Virginia for climate change research, and eliminating protections for Gays on university campuses.

He has not, however, investigated claims that taxpayer funded "pro-life" "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" are giving women misinformation on health issues:

1. Here's what the adorable Ms. Rose has been up to re: PP
At the age of 15, Rose founded Live Action and began giving antiabortion presentations to schools and youth groups.<1> She and conservative activist James O’Keefe III had found inspiration in left-wing activist Saul Alinsky's grassroots organizing handbook "Rules for Radicals".<1> After having been further inspired by the work of Texas activist Mark Crutcher, who taped fake calls to Planned Parenthood clinics featuring women posing as pregnant minors, they came up with the idea to infiltrate Planned Parenthood clinics wearing concealed video cameras in fall 2006, when Rose was a 17-year-old UCLA freshman history major, to expose the clinics' operations. Since 2006, Rose has conducted stings at Planned Parenthood clinics in Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Tucson, Phoenix and Memphis.<1> Her videos are usually released after editing down to about five minutes with quick cuts and a soundtrack for effect.<1>

In 2007, Rose made covert videos in Los Angeles area Planned Parenthood centers, where she represented herself as a 15-year-old girl pregnant by a 23-year-old man. At the centers, she asked staffers to provide an abortion without telling her parents, as would be required by law. The law would also have required the center to report the father for statutory rape, but in several cases the videos purport to show the centers advising her to lie about her age when filling out forms, and ignoring the issue of statutory rape.<2>

In 2008, Rose released four audio recordings of an acting O’Keefe trying to elicit racially charged responses from Planned Parenthood clinics by asking to make donations to pay for black women’s abortions. In one, he said, “You know, we just think, the less black kids out there, the better,” and the Planned Parenthood employee replied, “Understandable, understandable.”<3>

In 2009, Rose released a videotape made in an Indiana Planned Parenthood clinic, in which she represents herself as a 13-year-old girl pregnant by a 31-year-old man. The video purports to show the counselor saying, ""I didn't hear the age. I don't want to know the age. It could be reported as rape. And that's child abuse."<1>

Rose has been featured on conservative television talk shows such as the O'Reilly Factor and the Glenn Beck show.

4. she's a damn clown feigning social justice
Glenn Beck bashes social justice all the time, so it's really silly to see people like Rose steal it for their own devious agendas. What's even worse is that Rose is from my hometown San Jose. However, my city has many many many more great people though. She also is a homeschooled Christian and an example how religion makes people cold.

2. He's absolutely courting Tea Party support on the job.
I've written to my state reps, and they've started legislation to limit his investigative powers when it comes to scientific issues, but he's running amok on the taxpayer dollar.
