This isn't nearly as bad as what either Akin or Mourdock said back in 2012. Granted, the sentiment made here could definitely be better expressed, say something like this: "There are few things more ugly or horrible than rape. However, if a child results, that rape does not make the child ugly or horrible." Probably would still raise the hackles of the pro-abortion crowd who want abortion available at any stage of development for any reason.
Nice level-headed response. It was a stupid thing to say, but maybe more because of how stupidly it was expressed.
Hockeydude, about 15% of the US is "non-religious," leaving at LEAST 80-83% who are, including a majority of liberals. Let's not lump everyone together.
