Progressive Change on Republican: Disabled children are nature’s vengeance?
These outrageous quotes are direct from the mouth of a single Republican state legislator in Virginia who faces re-election in just one month. We won’t even say his name.
- On rape: “The woman becomes a sin-bearer of the crime, because the right of a child predominates over the embarrassment of the woman.”
- On 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.”
- On LGBT Americans: “If I needed a blood transfusion and the guy next to me had committed sodomy 14 times in the last month, I’d be worried.”
- On Obamacare: “Forcible economic rape.”
To top it all off, this Republican is taking money from Public Advocate of the U.S., a hate group identified by the SPLC.
Donald Trump lost this district by double digits, and Danica Roem (VA-HD13), a longtime journalist, is poised to beat him on her way to being the first transgender member of the Virginia General Assembly. Danica is a bold progressive who will fight right-wing extremists and Donald Trump’s agenda.
