At a recent debate with his opponent Democrat Rep. Joe Donnelly, Indiana GOP Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock said that women who become pregnant as a result of rape should be forced to keep the pregnancy because it is a "gift from God" and that it is something that "God intended to happen".
What one says is important, especially when it's coming from a person in power. Mourdock, as illustrated by what he said, is opposed to abortion even in cases of rape and incest. Please tell Mourdock that rape pregnancies are not a "gift from God" and that every woman should have the right to choose, especially when it comes to rape!
Dear Richard Mourdock,
Recently, in a debate with your opponent Rep. Joe Donnelly, you said that rape pregnancies are a "gift from God" and that it is something "God intended to happen".
Every woman should have the right to choose what happens to their bodies, especially in a situation like rape. Rape pregnancies are not a "gift from God".
Thank you for your time.
