God's Little Gift To The Rape Victim

Rethuglicans want everyone to ignore the fact that their policies would negatively affect women, from equal pay/equal work to involuntary transvaginal probes and pushing "personhood" amendments into law. Now, joining Missouri Rethug Senate candidate Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin in the war on women hall of fame is teabagger-backed Indiana Rethug Senate candidate Richard "Monster" Mourdock who said in a debate Tuesday:
"I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
Having a man tell a woman who has been raped that she can't terminate the pregnancy is repugnant in the extreme. Even Willard "I'll Say Anything" Romney's campaign distanced itself from Monster's statement (but Willard hasn't taken back his endorsement of Monster). It's hard to believe that this clown would get a single vote from a woman, but no doubt he will.

Monster beat sane conservative Sen. Richard Lugar for the Rethug nomination, mostly on the support of tea bagger radicals. Monster was also noted for defining "bipartisanship" as follows:
“I have a mindset that says bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view.”
No way, jackass. No way.
