Good grief. So expressing a pro-life sentiment is now "stupid" and "damaging"?
I refuse to accept that, and I think it is this kind of idiotic timidity that has gotten us where we are in the first place. Win or lose a Senate race, it's time to start throwing this junk right back in their faces, hard, even if it gives them broken noses in the process.

Yep.
Proof?
Why exactly did you start this thread...to help Mourdock with damage control.
It was a statement of personal belief that will have absolutely no bearing on what he could try to accomplish in the Senate. It was a statement that could cost us a Senate majority.
Any such statement in the last days of an election that puts the campaign into damage control mode is plain stupid.
So is the attitude that says..."Who cares if we lose the Senate, as long as we piss the left off?"
From a campaign perspective it was an utterly retarded thing to say. wtc911 is dead right on that. Mourdock may have not meant it to come out that way, but the fact is he said it in a debate a couple of weeks before the election. Very stupid.
It is not a pro-life or Christian sentiment. To say a rape is God’s will is Islamic, not Christian. This is not to say that it is OK to abort the baby, but to say rape is God’s will is blasphemy.
