[i]McDonnell's 1989 thesis for Regent University[59] was a 93-page document titled The Republican Party's Vision for the Family: The Compelling Issue of The Decade. The document explored the rise in the numbers of divorces and illegitimate births, and examined public policies that may have contributed to that increase and proposed solutions. It gained attention in the campaign because it outlined a 15-point conservative agenda, including 10 points McDonnell pursued during his years in the General Assembly, according to press analysis.[60]

The agenda included opposition to abortion, support for school vouchers and covenant marriage, and tax policies that favored heterosexual families.[61] In his thesis, McDonnell wrote "government policy should favor married couples over 'cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.'"[62] McDonnell "described working women and feminists as 'detrimental' to the family."[62] [/i]

[i]McDonnell opposed same-sex marriage. He advocated a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.[54]
