Opinion
Petition on Planed Parenthood
Dustin Sanders
Issue date: 3/4/10 Section: Opinion
Not included in the article on abortion was an outlandish claim made by Del. Robert Marshall while talking to his fellow petitioners: "The number of children born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children. And in the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal or man, is dedicated to the Lord. This is a special punishment, Christians would suggest." Again, Marshall pulls this out of thin air just like his $500,000 claim, and provides no evidence or source for support. Does he really believe that disabled children are some form of divine punishment? Perhaps his fellow republican Sarah Palin might have something to say about that.
