Abortion causes breast cancer and Bush is a commie!

Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson says abortion causes breast cancer and Bush is a commie!

Karen Johnson is one of the nuttier people in the Arizona legislature. A true believing Mormon and a big believer in marriage and the family, Karen has been married five times now. She seems to like sponsoring bills to make it harder to get divorced. :)

Here are some choice excerpts from a recent interview of Senator Johnson by the Arizona Capitol Times (May 2, 2005):

Q. You have received much publicity about your position that abortion causes breast cancer. Do you base that on scientific findings?

A. Oh, very much so. I have seen many definitive studies. I have gone to conferences where that has been the sole issue. To me, there’s no question that abortion, especially in the early months, causes the structure in cells in the breast to change… and that is what’s very conducive to cancer. Wow, I’ve been blown away when the other side doesn’t want women to be aware that breast cancer is very, very prevalent among those that have had abortions.

Q. There’s a debate whether religion is creeping too far into government. Do you think that’s the case?

A. I wish it would creep in a whole lot more. Our culture has just gone into the sewer. The moral values of the people in this country are sadly, sadly declining. When our country was at its zenith we had strong families, which is the foundation of our society. The debasing of society has just set in. I’m fearful when pornography is on every corner, and our children can access it freely, I don’t know what we expect to see happen down the road if we don’t pull back from this. I don’t think we should make laws necessarily. I wish people on their own would see this and make the right decisions.

Q. Liberal talk radio hosts have been saying neo-cons see conflict between the Bible and the Constitution, whereas most people believe the Bible and the Constitution can coexist peacefully. What do you think?

A. Don’t get me started on the neo-cons. I am not a neo-con. A neo-con, actually, is a Trotskyite [supporters of Leon Trotsky’s theory that socialism must be established throughout the world by continuing revolution.] They want, in my opinion, world domination.

Q. Is President Bush a neo-con?

A. Yes, absolutely. The Constitution is a divinely inspired document from the Lord. This land of America is a special promised land. The neo-cons want to export this to the world, saying, “You will be a democracy.” That’s not our purpose.
