The self-proclaimed “America’s Anchorman” on embryonic stem cell research:
I’m telling you, and I have from the get-go, who is behind this — is the — the militant pro-abortion crowd, because you need abortions to get these.

Science is not politics — well, it’s absolutely BS. Science is all about politics, and science has been so wrong about so many things.
