Neil Steinberg on folks like Richard Mourdock, that Senate candidate in Indiana who believes it's God's will that women who get pregnant by rape have to carry the child to term. Personally, I think it's God's will that Richard Mourdock not get elected.
By the way, you can probably guess what I think of Mr. Mourdock as a human being but I think people are being unfair to him when they suggest he said, "It's sometimes God's will that a woman be raped." Seems to me that however awkwardly he phrased it, what he was trying to say that if there is a rape, a pregnancy that results is God's will. That's still kinda ugly but not quite as bad.
One thing that really annoys me in politics these days is that almost deliberate misunderstanding you sometimes see. Your opponent says something something you can perhaps exploit and you try to sell the worst-possible interpretation of it, not the one he most likely intended. Republicans do that a lot, as witness Obama's "you didn't build that" stripquote. I would respect the hell out of any politico who made an effort to correct his side when they do this. But you don't see that often.
