One sad side to this story is that I didn't even have to look up Bob Marshall to know that he labeled himself "Republican." What has gone wrong with the GOP that it's clear that such asinine statements ALWAYS come from the right?

Weird Al's song "Dare to be Stupid" seems to have acted as a rallying cry.
Anyone with a real concern for children with disabilities knows that Marshall made that crazy comment in early 2010. I suppose there's no harm in bringing it up again as something new.

Frankly, it doesn't matter when he said it, as long as it's been since the advent of modern science.
On Thursday, Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall (R) spoke at a press conference against state funding for Planned Parenthood. He blasted the organization for supporting a women’s right to choose, saying that God punishes women who have had abortions by giving them disabled children:
“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.”
Marshall is also fighting against health care reform, saying that “Obamacare” is trying to take “your soul.” Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has been pushing back against high-profile figures and entities who have been attacking people with disabilities. Will she speak out against someone in her own party?

Party affiliation has nothing to do with being really stupid.
GOP: Children with disabilities are God's punishment to women who have had abortions.
