Bob Marshall: Don't Make Coeds "Chemical Love Canals"

This video is an "oldy-but-goody" from 2004 -- Del. Bob Marshall (right-wing "R") ranting about turning "coeds" (what you and I call "women college students") into "chemical love canals for...frathouse playboys in Virginia."  Marshall's bill, HB 1414 (2004), would have "[prohibited] any public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth from making available the morning-after pill in its delivery of health care services to students."

Why I bring this up now is that Marshall is once again up for re-election, which means voters have a chance to replace him with someone...well, sane.  The alternative is Bruce Roemmelt, a firefighter, veteran, and educator who will make the 13th district proud, not embarrassed.

By the way, a few others who voted for Marshall's extreme bill included Watkins Abbitt (opposed by Connie Brennan), Jeff Frederick (opposed by Chris Brown), Tim Hugo (opposed by Rex Simmons), and Scott Lingamfelter (opposed by William Day).

Sex-obsessed Bob Marshall (JPTERP - 10/23/2007 7:59:04 AM)
You know a man by his obsessions.

I would not be a bit surprised to find some swinger parties; bathroom stalls; or a vast pornography collection of historic proportions somewhere within Marshall's history.  All this guy seems to think about is sex, sex, sex.  It's like the mind of an adolescent.

It would be a benefit to the state to have a legislator who can address economic, transportation, and educational issues and put his sexual obsessions in the background when considering these issues.  Even with the Abuser Fees there was a penalty for displaying "pornographic material" from the a minivan TV visible on the highway.  I would never have even thought that you could bring pornography into a transportation related bill, but there it is.  I don't know if this was a Marshall brain child, but I would not be a bit surprised.

Your example highlights a bizarre sex-related angle in reference to higher education.

Sex-obsessed indeed.

This was primarily directed at my alma mater, James Madison University, which Del. Marshall seems particulary interested in regulating....


Is Marshall a doctor? (PM - 10/23/2007 8:31:05 AM)
#1  The morning after pill was extensively tested amid much scrutiny and fanfare. 

#2  Studies have shown no increase in irresponsible sexual behavior as a result of its usage.  http://en.wikipedia....

Scaring women with reckless accusations is psychological assault.  Marshall and his ilk are reprehensible.



Dr. Moreau, maybe. (Lowell - 10/23/2007 8:35:40 AM)
n/t


According to his own campaign site, no - he is not a Doctor (snolan - 10/23/2007 9:17:10 AM)
"Bob has a BA in History and Philosophy from Belmont Abbey College, North Carolina, and an MA in Humanities from California State University"

That same site goes on to talk about his personal library of over 2000 books - probably all on sex and church doctrines regarding sex (but that is simply my own supposition).

I remain horribly embarrassed that inept and sex focused bigot is the delegate from my district and I am doing everything I can to send him to his own bedroom so we can focus on some more important issues in the 13th.

Elect Bruce Roemmelt!



Co-Eds' "Love Canals" (soccerdem - 10/23/2007 11:02:55 AM)
Perhaps we should not take Bob Marshall so lightly.  After all, shoudn't we be protecting the love canals of our women college students, especially since we are at war? 

As Bob Marshall would say, I have no doubts that probably 100% or more of the women who enter college are virgins, and that at least 95% of the men are.  Don't bother me with Kinseyesque polls to the contrary on which students will lie rather than be branded as inexperienced.  Certainly we need to protect our kids and keep them from Eve's sin till marriage, and in many cases throughout marriage, since this will support our troops.

But I say, perhaps sexual experience of ANY type should be guarded against.  To this end, a moral end, I believe Bob Marshall would definately support a Self-Abuser Fee.  Anyone caught speeding toward self abuse would be fined from $300 to $3,000, the dollar amount depending upon frequency, weaving from side-to-side, intoxication with the act, and not coming to a stop within reasonable limits.

The fees would not be applied to out-of-state individuals since those macacas probably are not as pure as our native Virginians and could not be expected to live up to our standards..

All collected fees would be used to repair our roads so that cars would have smoother rides and ensure the comfort of those in the front and backseats of our transport.

Give Bob Marshall a chance.  As Trent Lott would say, "Let's go back to the good old days." 



LOL - "self abuser fee" (Eric - 10/23/2007 8:34:21 PM)
That's a good one.

And Bob's "chemical love canals"?  I missed that one last time.  Where does he come up with this stuff?  That is too funny.

It's a shame Bob is truly dangerous in his position of power because his rantings and obsessions would be absolutely hilarious otherwise.  Yes Bob, we are laughing at you, not with you.
