GOP and the Will of G-d

Once again a Tea Party/GOP candidate pronounced from on high that he was aware on the will of the Lord in the lives of the people.  In this case, it was Richard Mourdock from Indiana.

"I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that G-d intended to happen."

Interesting.  Given that mind-set, doesn't it logically follow then that he believes that the rapist was doing
G-d's will?  Under this religious dogma, would this not become a form of defense, that since a baby resulted, he was only following the will of G-d?

And if a woman shouldn't receive medical assistance to prevent medical issues after a rape, would it not then follow that a man should not have a bullet removed from his body after he's been assaulted since under Mr. Mourdock's theory, that's where G-d intended it to be?  That whatever occurs, be it disability, crippling infection or death, it was G-d's will?

It is truly disturbing to me that these Dominionists claim to know the will of G-d and it somehow always allows for sexual and domestic violence against women.

What's even more disturbing is that Mitt Romney supports this man in his bid for Senate.  If this is the type of man he wants making laws that would effect women, imagine what he would do with the Supreme Court Judges he could appoint.
