Disabled Kids are God's Punishment for Abortion

Sigh.

From Newsleader.com:

State Delegate Bob Marshall of Manassas says disabled children are God's punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy.

"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."

What cruel ableism. But he keeps spewing dumb shit out:

"Looking at it from a cultural, historical perspective, this organization should be called 'Planned Barrenhood' because they have nothing to do with families, they have nothing to do with responsibility," Marshall said.

Nelson suggested that the organization be called "Klan Parenthood," saying that the group's founder, Margaret Sanger, made racist comments in the 1930s and that the organization has shown a "willingness to take donations from people who are racist."

Does NO ONE read scientific studies anymore?! And I like his use of the race card, even though he is a person who is sexist and ableist, just to start.

Side note, a commenter on the original news story wrote "the bible also says "speak softly and carry a big stick".......maybe ... he should think of that" Just, you know, an fyi. That was actually Teddy Roosevelt, and not the Bible. Ah teh interwebs.
