O'Reilly: The ACLU is "behind all abortion on demand, euthanasia, and coming soon perhaps, infanticide for impaired babies"

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly renewed his attack on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on the April 19 edition of The O'Reilly Factor. From his "Talking Points Memo" segment:

O'REILLY: "Talking Points" expects the American media to go after the new pope because he is conservative. And that will confirm his opinion that we're all a bunch of godless secularists over here. Remember, it is the American Civil Liberties Union which is now behind all abortion on demand, euthanasia, and coming soon perhaps, infanticide for impaired babies.

O'Reilly has previously referred to the ACLU as "terrorists," and has said the group is more of a threat to freedom than Al Qaeda. He has also claimed that "Hitler would be a card-carrying ACLU member. So would Stalin. Castro probably is. And so would Mao Zedong."
