"You can't wake up one day and say 'I'm for gay marriage,' and wake up the next day and say 'I'm against it.' Wake up one day and say, 'I'm pro-choice,' and the next day wake up and say, 'I'm pro-life.' There's no credibility there."

In compliance with the dishonesty that dominates today's intellectual field, they call themselves "pro-life"."
