I shouldn't be surprised by this anymore, but another Republican either already in or currently running for Congress has made an outrageous claim about rape.
Earlier this year, Missouri Republican Senatorial candidate Todd Akin said that women can't get pregnant from what he termed "legitimate rape," because their vaginas had a magical power about them, which could block the passageway of the rapist's sperm and prevent pregnancy.
Now it's Indiana Republican Senatorial candidate Richard Mourdock's turn to make such an asinine statement.
When asked about abortion during a debate, Mourdock said: "The only exception I have to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother. I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
So, according to this man, women being raped is all part of God's plan, eh? Yeah, you know what else should be part of "God's plan"? Men keeping their mouths shut when they feel the need to express that they know a woman's body better than she does. They don't, and until they give birth to a baby out of their own anus, they have no right to tell a woman she is immoral for undergoing an abortion, especially after being violated and traumatized through the hideous and violent act that is rape.
