Mourdock? What''s a 'Mourdock'?

The Hits (On Women) Just Keep on Coming!

Now it's the Republican senatorial candidate in Indiana, Richard Mourdock, who brought the revealed will of God to the political stage last night in a debate with his opponent:

I’ve struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.

Apparently, God has to be on one side or the other in a rape, and it ain't the woman's, according to Mr. Mourdock.

The willingness to impose that kind of religious belief on American women is shared by the Republican 2012 national platform, and by vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan.
