Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said Tuesday when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape, “that’s something God intended.”
Mourdock, who’s been locked in one of the country’s most watched Senate races, was asked during the final minutes of a debate with Democratic challenger Rep. Joe Donnelly whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest.
“I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen,” Mourdock said.
If abortion exists, then it is obviously something that God intended, too. If we are going to base our politics on psychoanalyzing God, then let’s at least engage in an exhaustive reading of God’s intentions.
I’m kind of upset with God right now for allowing Richard Mourdock to happen. I understand there must be some higher purpose here, but I have to tell you, God, this Mourdock guy is very badly done. The gift of Mourdock’s life that you inflicted on all of us is quite a shitty gift.
