GOP candidate claims disabled children are God’s punishment for abortion

I originally was going to take the time to do a write up on the idiocy of Republican congressional candidate Bob Marshall, but Mike Stone over at Progressive Secular Humanist beat me to it and did a much better job.

Not only has Marshall said that disabled children are God’s punishment for women who have an abortion, but he has also stated that he believes that Justice Kennedy of the SCOTUS is a homosexual. Going back further, 1989 to be exact, he was asked about his opposition to all abortion — even in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. Marshal responded “What if incest is voluntary?” Mr. Marshall said. “Sometimes it is.”

Christian conservative and Republican congressional candidate Bob Marshall claims that disabled children are God’s punishment for women who have an abortion.

Marshall, a Virginia GOP state delegate and congressional candidate, is standing by his obnoxious, irresponsible and baseless claim about the supposed “divine” link between abortion and disabled children, according to a report issued by Right Wing Watch.

Marshall says that “Nature takes its vengeance on subsequent children,” and that “Christians would suggest,” “It’s a special punishment.”
