http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Rossi"Rossi has worked against Roe vs. Wade, attacked opponents for supporting gay rights, and proclaimed that creationism should be taught in public schools. Although Rossi campaigned on being pro-life and in favor of state and federal amendments that would (as written) ban all benefits and legal contracts for gay couples, he downplayed his long history of fundamentalist rhetoric and claimed he was a "fiscal moderate with a social conscience.""
