Steve Chapman: On Plan B, Democrats are the anti-science party

Democrats claim we have one party that upholds science and one that rejects it. When it comes to climate change, presidential polling, evolution and other topics, we are told, Republicans have no use for actual experts. They’d rather listen to Rep. Michele Bachmann, who claimed the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation.

But today, I’m glad to report the Democratic charge has been discredited. We don’t have a pro-science party and an anti-science party. We have two anti-science parties.
