Quite the worst one, in terms of her views and her ability to use them to stop change, since 'Sir' David English - the man responsible for the font page headline in the (normally anti-abortion) Daily Mail, 'Gay Gene Abortion Hope' ie it's good that homosexuality might be genetic because it means you can abort any gay children.
