Richard Mourdock, Senate candidate in Indiana, has been getting a bum rap. In asserting that victims of rape who become pregnant should not be eligible for abortion, he was offering a genuine profession of his religious faith. Here in America we're supposed to appreciate expressions of religious faith by candidates for office.
God, as Mourdock knows well, is omniscient and omnipotent. Omniscient, God obviously knows in advance when some sicko is preparing to rape an unsuspecting woman. If the rape goes off as planned, it is clear that the omnipotent God was cool with it.
Granted, some Christians believe in free will (albeit not necessarily with respect to women freely exercising reproductive choices.) As for Mourdock, if he loses the election, I'm sure he will humbly accept his loss as God's will.
