I hope some of the atheist groups will stand up and denounce Mourdock's comments as the fevered ramblings of a religiously-obsessed mind. Since there is no God, there is no way that a pregnancy from rape is "God's will." It's taken quite a few years for us to begin to criminalize rape, and I'm afraid some of these right-wingers are living in a fantasy that rape is relatively OK, since it's been with us for eternity.
25% of women will be raped in their lifetimes. Absurd.
50% of women in the military will be raped by their fellow soldiers. Shameful.
Women should have the total right to control their own reproductive issues, and whether or not they choose to use birth control. It wasn't until 1965 in Griswold v Connecticut that the last Comstock Law was struck down. These religiously fanatical white males do NOT want women to control their own destinies.
If the Democrats can't make that argument, we're going to end up with Republicans.
