Bob Marshall makes another scary appearance in the press (I do note that whenever he opens his mouth something medieval, backwards, or just plain crazy comes out) in the Washington Times today. Now, we Democrats don't usually keep tabs with the Moonie Times, but this is extremely alarming:Virginia Delegate tests waters on abortion ban
A conservative Virginia state delegate is testing support for reinstating a ban on abortion that dates back to 1847, in hope that the U.S. Supreme Court eventually will allow states to decide the issue.Delegate Robert G. Marshall is asking the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor if they would sign or vote for legislation reinstating the ban, noting the announced retirement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
Lord Almighty. Why don't we revert to the good old days of 1847, when Jame Polk was President? While we're at it, let's overturn the ban on slavery too! Do we want abortion to be safe and legal, or unsafe and illegal? How about cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is at stake? Bob Marshall essentially wants you to go to hell.
You must give birth. Period. No exceptions. Bob Marshall doesn't seem to care if your life is at stake. The fetus receives utmost importance.
I find it interesting that we men are dictating women's rights. Eh? No one is telling you to have an abortion--if you don't want one, don't have one! But it is critical that the life and health of the mother be protected. A fetus is not a living, breathing human being, a mother is.
Bob Marshall is one of the most backwards delegates in the state. Fire him! Elect Bruce Roemmelt for delegate.
