 ::I might as well include the issue since Casprings did not. 

 This has been a problem and in the article for some time.  The way Casprings has it worded and has defended vigorously makes a statement which implies a statement Mourdock did not make. 

 ..became embroiled in a similar controversy when he stated that pregnancy from rape was ""something God intended"". 

 This clearly implies that Mourdock thinks that God intends that pregancy is the result of a rape.  However, that is not what he said.  He clearly says that if a pregnancy is the result of a rape then God indended that life to happen. 

 I know there are some who disagree and I respect their point of view but I believe that life begins at conception. The only exception I have to have an abortion is in that case of the life of the mother. I just struggled with it myself for a long time but I came to realize: Life is that gift from God that I think even if life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen. 

 Frankly I am not even sure why this has to be debated.    "
