Anyone who honestly thought he meant that God intended rape needs to have their head examined.
Anyone using that interpretation against him politically needs to have their soul examined.
Anyone not using it against him should not be working in politics.
Christ, I'm depressed.

His statement highlights one fundamental flaw in his religious dogma. If his god has a hand in conception (or indeed "most things" as stated above), what does he not have a hand in? How can his god have responsibility for one (conception) without taking ownership for the other (rape)?
If mortals cannot know the mind of their god, how come religions all come with detailed but largely ambiguous instruction books (mostly dating from the Bronze Age)?
This clown (Mourdock) is just another American Taliban who's knowledge of biology and empathy for women in general is essentially non-existent.
