Pat Robertson has come up with a new theory as to why liberals support abortion rights -- it's because they want to put lesbians and straight women on "a level playing field."
On a recent episode of The 700 Club, discussing the battle over federal funding for Planned Parenthood, Robertson says President Obama supports the organization because of what the antigay minister calls the Left's "culture of death." Then Robertson says to cohost Terry Meeuwsen, "If a woman is a lesbian, what advantage does she have over a married woman? Or what deficiency does she have?"
Meeuwsen replies, "Well, she can't have children" -- ignoring the fact that lesbians can and do have children. Robertson says, "That's exactly right. And so if these married women don't have children, if they abort their babies, then that kind of puts them on a level playing field."
