Who Votes for This Clown? Virginia Legislator Refers to Kids with Disabilities as a Curse.

450 mm by 450 mm (18 in by 18 in) Handicapped ...Image via Wikipedia



One has to wonder about our electoral system. Exactly how does a person get elected to public office? I have read a lot recently about the Supreme Court's extreme judicial activism in relation to its shredding of the campaign finance laws. Is the result that our elected representatives are now truly the finest that money can buy?

My current discontent with all things elected is attributable to a Virginia state legislator, Delegate Robert G. Marshall (R. Prince William). He recently made a speech against Planned Parenthood and during his address he said that subsequent children born to women who have abortions are more likely to be "handicapped" because of vengeance and punishment from God. Here is the Washington Post story.

The logic here is stunning. This guy apparently believes that kids with disabilities are a curse. Has he ever met a kid with a disability? How could he possibly think this? I'm not so interested in the gotcha moment as I am in the underlying, and truly dark, belief about people with disabilities that this argument reveals. This was not a casual misuse of the "R" word, it was an insight into a way of thinking about people with disabilities that I thought that we as a society had outgrown. I'm shocked.

The people who write the special education laws on the state level are, unfortunately, people like this guy? Am I right to be worried?

  3. Does your HP printer not functioning as it should be? Is it keeps going offline at whatever times you try to print a document from your computer device? Now, you must be wondering how do i get my printer online? Well, you are not alone who is facing this problem. HP Printer to go offline is a pretty general issue that is nearly faced by all the HP printer users while using their device. Usually, this error arises when there is connection problem or corruption of data and it is shown by an exclamation mark inside a triangle in your computer taskbar. In most of the cases, you can easily get rid of the issue by making sure that you don’t have any cable, network, cartridge and paper jam issues. In some cases, you might want to reset and install your HP printer with the purpose to get it back online. https://www.hpprintersupportpro.com/blog/bring-online-from-hp-envy-4500-driver-offline/

  35. Sildalist 120 and Tadalista Pills is a PDE-5 inhibitor that works by boosting blood flow in the penile veins and relaxing the tissues. Anybody suffering from ED should take Sildalist 120 tablets as a prescription treatment and take it orally with a full glass of water 30 to 45 minutes before a social gathering.

    Sildenafil Citrate, included in Sildenafil citrate Pills, raises cGMP levels in the heart and enhances blood flow in the penile veins. When blood flow increases, it achieves a long-lasting powerful erection to the penis. High cGMP levels inhibit the release of nitric oxide from the vessels, which is the root cause of erection problems in males.

    Sildenafil Citrate is the main ingredient and general of Sildalist 120 reviews, and it is used to treat erectile dysfunction, which is why physicians gave Sildalist 120 drugs to their patients since it is a safe and secure method of treating this sort of illness. Following a professional examination, an analysis of the optimal dose of this medicine depending on their bodily circumstances is performed. Several people buy Sildalist 120 medications online to treat their erection dysfunction since they are incredibly effective for this condition.
