It blows my mind that anyone – and much less a member of the Commonwealth’s General Assembly – could say something so absolutely terrible. He said this during a press conference to oppose funding for Planned Parenthood.
No matter what you think of Planned Parenthood (97% of their services, by the way, are focused on prevention care such as Pap tests, breast cancer screenings, and contraceptive services), it disgusts me to think that Marshall would get up in front of a group of Christians and claim: “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.”
This year, members of the General Assembly have really climbed up onto their morality high horses are unfairly targeting Planned Parenthood. But this statement just crosses the line.

It blows my mind to say this... but I think this is something even Sarah Palin and I would agree on...
