Prince William Del. Bob Marshall, R-13th, has offered his own rather dark explanation for birth defects and child disabilities: divine retribution for women who have had abortions. Marshall told a crowd that the Bible says that the first born is a gift to God, resulting in “special punishment” for those who have abortions.
At a press conference, Marshall stated “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, . . . 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.”
I am not why people like Marshall would want to spend eternity with a being who imposes birth defects on infants as punishments for their parents. Of course, he did not explain what those other men and women did to warrant their miscarriages and birth defects.
The press conference involved various Christian clergy calling for the elimination of state funding for Planned Parenthood because the organization provides abortions.
Marshall insists that Planned Parenthood should be called ” ‘Planned Barrenhood’ because they have nothing to do with families, they have nothing to do with responsibility.”
The only funding Planned Parenthood receives from the state is from Medicaid reimbursements and amount to about $35,000 in the 2009 fiscal year.
Marshall’s official bio boasts “a personal library of 2000+ books.” It certainly seems to reaffirm Voltaire’s statement that “the multitude of books is making us ignorant.”

Canadian Eh,
Send your detractors to Texas, I am sure that we can make them a supporting pillar of the community.
Hmmm, if disabled children are a punishment from God imposed on women who have (supposedly) had an abortion, I wonder what the punishment is for (also) aborting the fetus that would have become the disabled child? Maybe that is the true story behind what happened to Lieutenant Ellen Ripley and her crew.

From the article: “Western Prince William Del. Bob Marshall, R-13th, says disabled children are God’s punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy.”
Now we can begin castigating all the women who have given birth to children with mental and physical disabilities. After all, it’s their fault for aborting their firstborns…right? Unbelievable!!! Let’s point our fingers at these women and accuse them of the disabilities they afflicted upon their own children.
Marshall would most certainly have been a witch hysteria huckster in Salem, Massachusetts.
AY, Thanks for the link. I’m going to download one and see if they work with Paint Shop Pro also. I have Photoshop but never got into it so I use my old standby, PSP. I’m looking forward to giving some new brushes a test.
BIL, Happy Belated Birf’day! I hope you had a great party.
