Disgusting People

This, by Virginia Del. Ben Cline (R-Black Holes), on a bill to rescind the practice of shackling female prisoners in labor:

Del. Ben Cline, R-Rockbridge and chairman of the subcommittee, replied: “Does it show concern for the child for the mother to engage in criminal activity when she knows she’s pregnant? Do you agree choices have consequences?”

She's in prison, asshole. Isn't that enough for you? It's appalling that Virginia, or any state, could engage in such a practice to begin with.

Any bets on whether this guy considers himself a Christian?
