Hie Thee To Moxie...

John Hawkins: In your book, you explain that a number of medical breakthroughs have been achieved with adult stem cells while "embryonic stem cell researchers have produced nothing. They have treated nothing." Since that's the case, why do you think there's such a big push for government funding of embryonic stem cells when they look to be so obviously inferior to adult stem cells?

Ann Coulter: There are lots of leftovers when you abort 1.5 million babies a year. This is the next logical extension of the obsessive recycling mentality. "Hey, don't just throw away that baby you just aborted. Don't you know how full our landfills are getting? Let's see if there's some parts of it we can re-use for other things, like...I don't know...stem cells?"

She doesn't grace us nearly enough, but I do suppose that the rarest of gems SHOULD remain elusive.
