“I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happened,” Mourdock said.
I wish he had said something such as this,
“I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, I will not pretend to understand what a woman in that situation faces. I do believe though that God has not abandoned her or the life she carries and I trust that He will bring good from the most evil of acts. That to advocate for abortion because a child was conceived by rape is to deny that trust and give way to hopelessness.”
