#1 That's quite off the wall, and a Cruel thing to say.

All Children are gifts, and that probably needs to be expressed more now days.

#3 Just as outrageous as thinking that Marxism will cause anything but shortages.

It's strange that people will find this view (which I laugh at in it's ignorance) offensive, and yet will give a shrug to an ideology that has murdered 150+ Million.

Zero tolerance for Marxists.

#4 It makes a certain sense, if you're a loon.
Otherwise you chalk it up to Damage to the Uterus.

#7 God is just so why would God punish children for their parent' sin? This is horsehockey.

You can't fight human nature. Abuse of animals is more newsworthy than abuse of children.

#9 The link is to an article from 2010. This explains why the original news item isn't up. I didn't realize that when I looked at this gentleman's website last night. I just skimmed his website for press releases on the subject, and didn't find anything specific. I haven't waded through the rest of his stuff.

As the mother of three young adults with Aspergers, living in Berkeley-on-the-lake, I have gotten the "You mean you didn't get genetic screening?" (as if there were a magic test for everything) from assorted lefties who maintain that I have somehow injured Gaia by having more than one kid, never mind kids who take a little longer to learn things. To have something equally callous and judgmental from someone who claims to be pro-life is outrageous.

BP, any braying jackass can say something stupid about God's judgement. For Jesus' view of the matter, see John Chapter 9: "Teacher, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "It was not for any one's sin, but that the glory of God might be revealed in him."

#10 Marshall's a little nuts.

OK, I guess, for the General Assembly since he's got an R after his name (thank god he's not from MY district) and can't do too much damage, but there's no way in HELL he should be in Congress.

George Allen is running - already got the ads out showing Tim Kaine (D-Bambi) is a butt-buddy of Obama. Unless someone better shows up, he has my support and what little money I can spare.

#11 In all fairness, reproduction is very hard, and it's almost miraculous that it happens at all, given the multitude of reasons why it shouldn't.

Even after going through the obstacle course to achieve pregnancy, 1 in 4 fetuses will be miscarried, with the greatest risk for the first child. There are strong suggestions that many women need to have a "test run" pregnancy before they can have a successful one.

This imbeciles theory is also awful from a medical standpoint, as though in an abortion, a woman may be so damaged that she can never again bring a baby to full term, it's an "either-or" situation. If she can, her baby is statistically the same for any given problem as is a baby of a woman who has not had an abortion.

So he is just being mean and cruel.

Good catch, mom. Anonymoose, thank you for clarifying the medical facts for us. I've no doubt that some us will have the opportunity at some point to quote them to bring comfort.
