Flaming asshole alert!

Quoting because I just can't think to do anything else.

"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.

Quote from this article on newsleader.com.

To be extra helpful, they even have an MP3 recording of him saying it. Download it here.

That's Robert G. 'Bob' Marshall, R-Virginia, representing Manassas. I'm sure the 9pm show will be totally different from the 7pm show; catch him at @RobertGMarshall, if you can stand the stench.

An excerpt from his press release on the story:

"A story by Capital News Service regarding my remarks at a recent press conference opposing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood conveyed the impression that I believe disabled children are a punishment for prior abortions. No one who knows me or my record would imagine that I believe or intended to communicate such an offensive notion. I have devoted a generation of work to defending disabled and unwanted children, and have always maintained that they are special blessings to their parents. Nevertheless, I regret any misimpression my poorly chosen words may have created as to my deep commitment to fighting for these vulnerable children and their families."

Funny. That sound bite was impressively clear to me.

You disgust me, you ass.
