Senate Candidate: 'God Intended' Pregnancies From Rape

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•43 • Oct 24, 2012

During a debate last night, Richard Mourdock, a Tea Party–backed Republican Senate candidate from Indiana, said that instances of impregnation due to rape are “something that God intended to happen.” What do you think?

“Typical mainstream media, reporting on a Republican’s extremely offensive quote just because the guy said it.”

“That’s insulting. Everyone knows that God’s ideal method of impregnation is two consenting adults too drunk to care about using a condom.”
Juliet Kozak –

“Boy, if we Republicans want to win this election, we have got to stop saying what we believe.”
