Christian conservative Linda Harvey and
Molly Smith, director of Cleveland Right to Life, agree that
anti-choice activists must also oppose gay rights.
The National Right to Life Committee
last year withdrew Cleveland Right to Life's affiliation after Smith
criticized Senator Rob Portman's endorsement of marriage equality.
Smith currently serves as the head of
the National Personhood Alliance.
In an interview with Smith, Harvey, the
founder of the Columbus, Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent
contributor to the conservative website WND.com, wholeheartedly
agreed with Smith that anti-choice activists must also oppose gay
rights.
“The Planned Parenthood and anti-life
lobby is heavily imbued and connected to homosexuality,” Harvey
said. “They’re in favor of opening up the doors and
spreading the boundaries of sexuality all across the board. That
includes homosexuality. The lines are very blurred, and unless you
stand strong on this issue, you’re going to see much more, and you
do see much more, out of wedlock sexuality and then of course, more
abortion.”
Harvey added that she had seen Planned
Parenthood march in Columbus' annual Gay Pride parade.
“Why are they doing that?” she
rhetorically asked. “Because they know, you muddy the water, and
you get a lot more of their business, abortion.”
