The Virginia gubernatorial election sends a message to the rest of the country about how to win elections in America today -- and how to lose them.

Cory Booker will fight to protect women's access to preventive health services, make sure women have access to birth control with no co-pay, and support a woman's right to make her own personal and private medical decisions—without interference from politicians.
