Republican Bob Marshall believes in a God who punishes mothers who have abortions by afflicting their subsequent children with disablities.
And now Republican wingnut presidential candidate extraordinaire Rick Santorum believes that rape that ends in pregnancy is a gift from the God he worships.
Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn’t, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I’ve always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation.”Let's see if I got this correctly. Forced pregnancy, by rape, is a gift from God? Santurom's god cannot figure any other way to give this gift, so he does so by allowing rape of women? That is a gift?
I suppose if Jesus' mother, Mary was raped by Santorum's god, he would approve too.
And Santurom and his ilk worship this God?
Unbelievable.
