Televangelist Pat Robertson on Tuesday
condemned the Supreme Court's ruling striking down gay marriage bans
in all 50 states, saying it would lead to polygamy, bestiality and
pedophilia.
After criticizing the Supreme Court
over its Roe v. Wade ruling, Robertson claimed that the
justices “mess things up.”
“You watch what's going to happen
now. They said abortion is a constitutional right. They have said
homosexuality is a constitutional right. They've now said homosexual
marriage is a constitutional right,” Robertson
said.
“Watch what happens. Love affairs
between men and animals are going to be absolutely permitted.
Polygamy, without question, is going to be permitted. And it will be
called a right.”
When co-host Terry Meeuwsen added that
allowing gay couples to marry will also lead to “relationships with
children,” Roberson agreed, claiming that “they're going to
succeed now in legalizing pedophilia.”
