Donelly: The God I believe in does not intend for rape to happen.

After the debate, Donnelly said Mourdock’s view on rape and conception was disturbing.

“I can’t believe that my God, or any God, would intend it to happen,” he said, according to a veteran reporter for the Evansville Courier & Press.

In a written statement from his campaign, Donnelly expanded on the remark.

“The God I believe in and the God I know most Hoosiers believe in, does not intend for rape to happen—ever,” he said. “What Mr. Mourdock said is shocking, and it is stunning that he would be so disrespectful to survivors of rape.”

If there is or isn't a god, doesn't matter, rape IS a serious crime demanding punishment for the perp and
medical care (whatever the victim and her chosen doctor find necessary) and counseling and monetary
compensation for the victim.
