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.
Pardon me.... Wackjob religiouses. Better?
And no, the sentiment is also disgusting because it has everything to do with the expectations and desires of people like him who are completely uninvolved and nothing to do with the victim. The far right needs to just stfu about rape.
