Rape is "God intended"??

Moral police in India cry foul over the way women dress up and attribute that as the reason for the growing number of rapes and sexual assaults. These misogynists – right wing fanatics – have no issues thrashing up girls for partying and assaulting a lone girl when she comes out of a pub after having her share of booze.

And if you thought this only happens in incredible India, you are wrong! See what has been happening in the US for the past few months. Elections are fast approaching and parties, public and political leaders are actively discussing many issues, abortion being a prominent one.

And a Republican GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock the other day made a stupid, foolhardy statement. Taking part in a Senate debate in Indiana, Mourdock shamelessly said that the life of the mother was the only exception he made for abortion.

Following this comes the shocking statement: “I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that’s something God intended to happen.”

This is not the first time a Republican leader makes such an offensive statement. It may be remembered that in August, Republican Senate nominee from Missouri, Todd Akin, said pregnancy as a result of “legitimate rape” was rare as “the female body had ways to try and shut that whole thing down.”

Nay, not just that. Last week, another Republican leader and congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois, reportedly said “you can’t find one instance” where it has been necessary to perform an abortion due to the risk to the mother’s life.

Pro-women activists, women right groups and Democratic candidates have made a hue and cry over the callous attitude of some of the American politicians. According to reports, Democratic candidate Joe Donnelly said that he didn’t believe “my God, or any God, would intend that to happen.”

So, for these silly, stupid politicos, rape is God intended!
