Republican Senate candidate says rape pregnancies are "God's will"

[JakeStarkey]

Rape is never God's will. How can it be, for it contradicts the nature of God, which is Love.

The GOP far right is doing its ever loving best to make the Democratic Senate firmly Democratic in the next term.

Romney is going to win, but the Dems will never permit Scalia type appts to SCOTUS, and to get anything he wants in the next two years, MR will have to give in quite a bit to the Dems.

The extremist right of the GOP are nothing more than a buncha morons.

A message for women....

Mitt Romney is for ending funding for Planned Parenthood...including cancer screenings.

He said he would overturn Roe v Wade.

We have Republicans trying to redefine rape....trying to force women to get invasive ultrasounds.

If you think this election won't effect you and your life, think again.

Vote for Barack Obama.

 

[beretta304]

Not trying to draw a distinction.

Then why are you disputing that this yahoo just said that a rape resulting in a pregnancy is God's will?

Show me where I disputed anything? All I said was if you're going to put a title make it accurate and provide a link to what you're talking about. I had to look up what the heck he was referring to.

Crickets....

Isn't it funny, he had to clarify as if there was ever any doubt... He should have corrected HIMSELF, not what God wants. Something like, "I did not mean to imply that God wants rape, I meant to say yada yada..." Instead the dope releases a silly newsflash: Correction - God does not want rape! ......I'm thinking, oh phew!

Not many people would see a pregnancy as a good thing to come of rape.

Not many people are wise. You honestly think an all powerful God can't bring about good despite people doing bad things?

Look at Joseph in Egypt. Joseph's brothers treated him terribly. They hurt him. They sold him into slavery. They told their father that he was dead. Joseph was slandered as a slave. Incarcerated in prison. Forgotten in prison. And yet, God used these bad events to put Joseph in a position of power where he could save the life of countless people including those brothers who abused him and sold him.

I don't many people would see good coming out of being abused, enslaved, inprison, and forgotten. Yet despite that God was able to do miracles and use those events to save countless lives.

In this case, we are talking about a new life. Think of all the good that individual can do in the world. Think of the countless generations of people who can and will be born and the good they can do.

We all have trials and bad things happen to us in our lives. The question isnt whether they will happen, we know they will. The question is who we become because of them. We can let our trials harden our hearts and make us bitter and angry. Or we can let them humble us. We can learn to love despite the pain. We can learn how to forgive and be healed. We can learn how we can reach out and serve others better because of our trials, or we can remain in a state of victimhood.

Just because bad things happen, doesnt mean good cant ultimately come from it if we let it.

Anyone who understands the power of God can see the wisdom in his statement. You have to be able to understand that an all powerful being is capable of producing good from evil. It's is such a simple concept that even liberals can grasp it --- at least I would think they would have an intellect developed enough to understand it. Maybe I'm wrong here??...

If your God is so capable then why is the state of your religious stories so outlandish and lacking in true power to erradicate the evil? The evil that God created in the beginning before humans.

This fool is actually suggesting that God is an asshole because of what a rapist chose to do... lol

What makes your God an asshole, is that he didn't prevent the rape, even though he's all powerful.

The whole point of mortality is to learn good from evil and choose the good. How can that occur if God eliminates free will?

Just because you don't understand the plan of happiness, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with God. It just means you don't know God yet.

So you have one of two choices. You can seek God and learn from Him yourself. Or you can let this emnity between you and God fester until you become bitter and angry.

Your very existence is proof that there is a G-d. Natural selection would have weeded out someone as stupid as you a long time ago.

Willard is trying his best to distance himself from Mourdock, although he previously endorsed him.

Your god is an asshole. Bottom line. There's nothing good about a woman being beaten and forced to the ground, her clothes torn, and a man that either she thought was someone trustworthy or who is a total stranger forcibly penetrates her, often repeatedly. There's nothing good about being forced to carry the child of that vicious attack and being told that some god wanted it to happen so it's okay.

Your god needs to fuck himself in the eye.

Who said God was the cause for the man to do this in the first place? Isn't that man capable of making such a cold decision on his own free will?

However a woman can choose how she is to respond to such a difficult situation. The right decision (based on her beliefs and set of values she was raised) doesn't always come as being among the easiest ones to make. It would take a very strong woman in fact, to hold the position of be willing to keep the pregnancy because she feels taking an innocent life isn't justified. Some women may have that kind of strong faith or belief, to look to the baby instead and say that God could use this child for a better purpose. It's not an easy choice one can simply make, and it takes commitment as well as sacrifice.

In the general sense. I believe we have somehow become this "numb" and "cold" society where abortion can so easily be considered without as much as second glance, with an innocent life that's so easily discarded. We, in this society, don't hold a real great value for life overall.

Gotta watch the Indiana polls over the next week. Looks like Donnelly might take Lugar's seat.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I think the GOP can probably kiss their Senate take over aspirations goodbye.

...which is why 'we' are so easily prepared to squander it in immoral, illegal wars and invasions, eh? Or that we execute someone's adorable little baby as an adult.

Stop with the hypocrisy! We make life and death decisions every day and the decision a woman has to make should be made by her, certainly not by someone who is absolutely incapable of the slightest empathy for her situation.

Wasn't 9/11 God's will,

according to certain prominent so-called Christians?

 

[buckeye45_73]

Just goes to show you what childhood brainwashing can bring about. If someone starves a child and feeds it shit to keep it alive the child will believe shit is food.

Link?

Screw this guy. Abortion should be a CHOICE. People make mistakes, get raped, B.C. failing etc. MY opinion

It's not a harmless issue. The Republicans want to do away with Roe v Wade and take us back to a time when young kids have to travel to some backwoods con and get an abortion performed with a coat hanger. They fight to keep unwanted pregnancies alive so they can put the old capital punishment on their asses after they live a miserable life and get in trouble. There are way too many people in this world now much less the idea of forcing young women to have more. It takes idiots to think like that.

omg, another friggen FAIRY TALE
as far as we are concerned you people can kill all your children (UNWANTED pregnancies) is what you call them..The rest of us DON'T want to have to PAY FOR IT...
some of you with abortions are sick twisted people

 

[Katzndogz]

If Roe is overturned, how many states will ban all abortions? Turn the matter back over to the states where it should have been all along.
