Excuse me... Sen. candidate Murdoch (Indiana) Conception from rape is something God Intended...

As a survivor of rape, who was fortunate to not conceive, I find this appalling.

The senate candidate is essentially blessing the act of rape as being a way for a per-ordained conception and birth to happen. That is: rape at will. If a child is conceived you (rapist) are exonerated, because God wanted this child to be conceived.

he suggests that rape (if it results in conception) is God's will. Watch and listen.

It is hard to walk back statements suggesting it (the rape) is God's will.
