Virginia Right has a lengthy look at Cuccinelli proposal to protect children, and the left's attempts to make it a "Religious Right bashing gays" story.
Cuccinelli proposal comes due to a court ruling that threw out a sodomy statute, and might allow some sex offenders to escape their convictions.
Now, this opinion has the potential to overthrow legitimate statutes
that are needed to protect children. For example, the indecent
liberties with minors section (18.2-370) has a reference to the sodomy
statute as one prohibited act with a minor. So does the indecent
liberties by a teacher or other custodian of a child. (18.2-370.1) I
hate to sound alarmist but there is no other legal way (other than
perhaps a misdemeanor contributing to a delinquency of a minor charge)
to prosecute anyone for consensual sodomy with a minor or for seeking to
persuade a minor to have consensual sodomy in Virginia.
For some, it's better to bash the Religious Right than to focus on protecting children.
