In what is not the first and will almost certainly not be the last parody of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” a group of Virginia women used the song to call for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) to stop his campaign to close any clinics in the state that perform abortion.

“Your agenda’s daunting, rich, white, Catholic-talking, women’s rights a-stalking,” they sing, “Whaddya think you’re doing, Crazy?”

Virginia was the first state whose mandatory trasnvaginal ultrasound legislation sparked nationwide attention, inspiring its own parody song. That law was eventually scrapped in favor of a mandatory external ultrasound requirement for any woman seeking an abortion in the state.

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R), a strong supporter of the mandatory ultrasound law, helped craft the Republican National Convention’s “salute” to the law that will be made next week, despite the furor over Rep. Todd Akin’s comments about “legitimate rape” and abortion or the abortion and “forcible rape” he co-sponsored with presumptive VP nominee Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
