Any woman who votes Republican at this point has seriously skewed priorities.

Yeah, she prioritizes thinking with her brian, and not her vag.

how is this controversal at all? only because people twist his words to fit their agenda.

Yes, gasp and egads; Mourdock is pro-life and only believes in making an exception for abortion when the mother's life is at stake. In cases such as rape -- an act he describes as  "horrible" -- he still sees the creation of life as something that is  always a "gift from God."

This is controversial because Christianity supposedly espouses the idea of a loving god, and people generally find rape as a bad thing.

which is why he said "rape is a horrible thing" but "life is a gift from God." this is nothing remotely controversal about this statement.

your promotion of a culture of ignorance and lunacy is astounding. You are completely devoid of any rational thought and reason on this subject, you are letting your partisan lenses cloud you judgement. something you have admitted to before. Step back, and look at this. watch the video, and tell me he is promoting rape. you can tell he cares, you can tell he is genuine in his belief to protect life. he clearly has no malice in his statements.

Here's the key part of Mourdock's statement: "I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something God intended to happen."

You could take that to mean Mourdock believes (a) God intends some rapes to happen, and/or (b) when some rapes happen, God intends the woman to become pregnant from it."

I don't agree with either version of the statement. Do you?

In fact, I find both versions disgusting. Do you?

he is talking about life. life is something God intends to happens. and that life wouldnt get to happen if its aborted. its pretty clear what his argument is.

Two things I have seen bothered me but this one here made me want to post without reading the rest of the replies so sorry if I am repeating what someone else stated. Here is what is wrong with what you are implying:

 

1) While life is something, "God" intends to happen. So is death. This means -abortions included- death is, "God's Will" just as life is.

2) Thee argument has been that a fetus IS LIFE! Threfore, life has happened. You cannot kill that which is not alive.

3) His argument is extremely unclear. Is he promoting an agenda? Does he truly believe that something like that is, "A gift from God" because I know a rape vitcim that would be extremely offended by that remark. Is he trying to impose his will and beliefs on everyone, because if that is the case, lets just have a dictatorship in this country.

4) You cannot have, "God's Will" as half a story. You cannot say, "rape is not God's Will" then say, "but the conception is God's Will" and then say, "but abortion is not God's Will" because that conveys the message that God has no true message. Either it is all, "God's Will" or none of it is. You cannot pick and choose what is, "God's Will" because then you come off looking like you are speaking for God... or playing God.
