Stephen Colbert talked gay marriage and abortion with Harold Ford, Jr. last night, and asked him “are there other places in New York you designate as ‘helicopter-only?'”
Colbert also took Ford to task over his flip-flop on abortion, to which Ford responded that he’s “only said it once” that he is pro-life, and that he’s “never not been pro-choice.” He then launched into a somewhat head-scratching description of his belief that parents should be notified before their daughters see NC-17 movies.
When asked about his apparent flip-flop on gay marriage, Ford referred to his potential NY-Sen opponent Kristen Gillibrand as a “young lady” who also changed her position on gay marriage. He then pointed out that President Obama is only for civil unions, to which Colbert responded: “I’m not a fan of his either.”
