Handicapped children are punishments for previous abortions, says Repug.
Juanita Jean really says this much better than I could, so here is here link

and here is the nutzo comment:
“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,”
The nutzo is Bob Marshall of Virginia.
THEN he tries to walk it back...
"the next day, he sobered up and said this:
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."
Go read Juanita, who has own very special way of discussing this moran....
= new reply since forum marked as read
Is this another one of these fundie nutjob conspiracy theories? 
I swear, these right-wing nutjobs belong in a psychiatric hospital--in the ward for the criminally insane--because they all are as dangerous as they are delusional.
reasons so say are unclear but some people do have their suspicions.

Research links rise in Falluja birth defects and cancers to US assault
• Defects in newborns 11 times higher than normal
• 'War contaminants' from 2004 attack could be cause
We should note that the photo depicts the dropping of white phosphorous on Fallujah and not depleted uranium shells or other similar ordnance.
The latest Falluja study surveyed 55 families with seriously deformed newborns between May and August. It was conducted by Dr Samira Abdul Ghani, a paediatrician at Falluja general hospital. In May, 15% of the 547 babies born had serious birth defects. In the same period, 11% of babies were born at less than 30 weeks and 14% of foetuses spontaneously aborted.
The researchers believe that the figures understate what they describe as an epidemic of abnormalities, because a large number of babies in Falluja are born at home with parents reluctant to seek help from authorities.
One case documented in the report is of a mother and her daughter who after the 2004 battles both gave birth to babies with severe malformations. The second wife of one of the fathers also had a severely deformed baby in 2009.
"It is important to understand that under normal conditions, the chances of such occurrences is virtually zero," said Savabieasfahani.
