Virginia lawmaker: Children with disabilities are God’s punishment to women who previously had abortions. Bobmarshallva3

On Thursday, Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall (R) spoke at a press conference against state funding for Planned Parenthood. He blasted the organization for supporting a women’s right to choose, saying that God punishes women who have had abortions by giving them disabled children:

Quote :: “The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children,” said Marshall, a Republican.

“In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There’s a special punishment Christians would suggest.”

Marshall is also fighting against health care reform, saying that “Obamacare” is trying to take “your soul.” Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has been pushing back against high-profile figures and entities who have been attacking people with disabilities. Will she speak out against someone in her own party? (HT: Right Wing Watch)

I don't care for his crude terms or his generalizations as some disabled children are born to parents who did not have abortions. It doesn't help the cause to generalize like that. However, that doesn't mean that there is NO merit to his claims. Not that I believe God or nature is taking out vengeance, as much as that I am not convinced that things like abortion don't come with their own set of unforeseen consequences down the road.
