Mourdock

I'm from Indiana and I posted this yesterday on a local right-wing blog.

2. That needs more verbiage

Candidate Mourdock said every pregnancy is God's will. Somehow, this is tied to laws that say that even these fathers have paternity rights even if they are rapists, or something like that. Do you know the details?

4. The caption on that pic is not about "parental visitation rights"

Which is the thesis of the editorial in Ft Wayne journalgazette:

In Indiana, if a rape victim who became pregnant because of sexual assault chooses to give birth, she can find herself being victimized by her rapist a second time when he seeks parental visitation rights or even custody. It’s revolting, but rapists retain their rights in at least 27 states, including Indiana.

There is a tie in here. A person looking at the picture would not necessarily tie it in with Akin's remarks from before Mourdock's remarks.

Prewitt also wrote an article for CNN.com after Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Missouri, made his inexcusable and ignorant comments about the victims of “legitimate rape.”

“Eight years after my rape, I find myself on trial against ignorance again. Rep. Todd Akin’s recent comments that ‘legitimate rape’ rarely results in pregnancy not only flout scientific fact but, for me, cut deeper. Akin has de-legitimized my rape,” Prewitt wrote.
