Bob Marshall, a Republican state delegate in Virginia, has said, “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.” 

He went on to say, “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 made his comment on February 22nd at a press conference to oppose state funding for planned parenthood.

Editorial comment : So now you know. We disabled people need not fight  for our human rights, because we represent a punishment for sin. Therefore, we must blame those who campaigned for a woman’s right to choose, we must blame the politicians who supported changing the law and, of course, we must blame our mothers!
